Hefted will be visiting villages and rural communities around England this autumn, thanks to an Arts Council National Lottery Grant. We look forward to more of the fascinating conversations that the production sparked when we performed in Devon villages last year.
The design for Hefted has been inspired by some of the images in the Beaford Archive.
You may already have seen the scarecrow photographed by Roger Deakins in our previous post. Below are the ‘scarecrows’ that greet the audience before the play begins.
Beaford are curating a display of photographs from their archive to accompany the performances. This is the archive where playwright David Lane found inspiration for some of the stories in Hefted. The images are by renowned photographer James Ravilious and Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins.
The photograph of the scarecrow is by Roger Deakins – and is here to whet your appetite!
We’d love to create a gallery of scarecrows. If you’ve got images please send them as email attachments and we’ll put them up on the blog.
