will take place throughout the whole grounds of our school....
40 performers take you on a journey
through the night and our darkest fears. Combining intimate
confessions and half remembered dreams Nightwalks blurs
the line between sleeping and walking, between hope and despair,
between performance and life. Nightwalks is
an immersive experience lasting one and a half hours, with
four entry times each evening. The work has been collaboratively
devised by European Theatre Arts Level Three.
Performances are at Rose Bruford, http://www.bruford.ac.uk,in
