One man, one garden, one last day. On his last day in Blackpool before the waves take it away, Ted, an old-timer with a big heart, recalls the stories and people who made his beloved community garden so special. This new play, written and performed by acclaimed poet Nathan Parker, is full of love, hope and heartbreak as it celebrates community spirit and shines a light on the reality of climate change for seaside towns. This evocative story will leave you feeling inspired, moved and ready to change the world! Read more…
“A beautiful story told by a wonderful storyteller.”
“It is much more than a nostalgic journey, it has a real message delivered so brilliantly you cannot fail to hear and be moved by it.”
“Nathan Parker reduced me to tears with his one man show, The Land Beneath Our Feet. Evocative, touching and emotional. See it if you can!”
In association with the Blackpool Grand Theatre.
