Overview
And strange smells would arrive on the wind. So it seemed that there was
some kind of magic in this field. Some said that there was a dragon
underneath that had been woken by the lightning. Some said there
was treasure down there too. Fracking. How far down do you own the land
beneath your feet? How much does where you live inform the person you
become? What happens when someone else comes along and stakes their
claim?For young couple Bea and Joseph this is a story of fracture: of
fractured hearts, lives and lands. This Land digs down through
the history - and the future - of a patch of earth and everything that
has and will happen there. This programme text edition was published to
coincide with the play's premiere by Pentabus Theatre Company,
Shropshire, in March 2016.
