River Land by Theatre Alibi

A new show, telling a St Thomas story by Theatre Alibi

RIVER LAND tells the story of Walter and Ellie. Both live in St Thomas and both love the place dearly. Walter's life is teeming with the ghosts of St Thomas past, especially those vivid memories of a time, 60 odd years ago, when the Exe burst its banks and water filled the streets. Young Ellie, on the other hand, is overwhelmed by visions of global floods to come. What hope might their new friendship bring?

Along with the Festival of St Thomas Stories, our new show, River Land, is the culmination of three years' work for Theatre Alibi, listening to the powerful, moving, and often very funny stories from our neighbourhood. Join us as we open the doors to Emmanuel Hall. We'll have original live music, Alibi's trademark theatricality, and a space that is utterly transformed. We're also proud to announce that the cast includes St Thomas's very own Steve Bennett, well known as Exeter's magnificent pantomime dame.

THERE WILL BE A POST-SHOW Q&A AFTER THE 7.30PM PERFORMANCE ON SAT 9TH JULY.
