Stapledon – A community play for Ashburton and the Dartmoor area
This historical drama charts the life of Walter Stapledon Bishop of Exeter – from his humble origins coming from a farming family in North Devon, through his meteoric rise in the church and politics to become King Edward the Second's most trusted diplomat and also his treasurer, to his murder by a London mob in 1326. His life is counterpointed by the story of a farming family on Dartmoor during the Great Famine.

'Stapledon' is a new play written by MED Theatre's Artistic Director Mark Beeson and performed by a community cast from the Dartmoor area with music by Gillian Webster and Trefor Farrow.
Performances on Thursday 27th, Friday 28th, and Saturday 29th of September 2018, 7.30pm in St Andrews Church, Ashburton
