- Stepping Out Theatre, Mark Breckon
Bristol’s Stepping Out Theatre – the country’s leading mental health theatre company – present this new play by Mark Breckon, which promises to “belch out the uncomfortable truth about the [Avonmouth] pollution scandal.”
“The Rise and Fall of Ronald J Dump tells the satirical ghost tale of the eerie village of Hallen, once the dumping ground for Bristol’s unwanted citizens, for the ones who’d lost their homes and their minds, and the place where they burnt ‘witches’.
“Now a dumping ground for industrial waste, it is at even greater risk when evil American waste product entrepreneur Ronald J Dump sets his sights on Avonmouth.
is needed now More than ever
Stepping Out’s site-specific, immersive production takes place at Kings Weston House – a magnificent 18th century mansion on the outskirts of Bristol, which offers unspoilt views of the panorama of pollution that is Avonmouth docks. Audiences can expect lots of ghostly goings on during the performance which takes place in the Great Hall of the house that is itself home to many modern day ghost hunts.
June 11-21 (no perfs Fri 15 & Sat 16), £12 / £10 concs. For more info, visit www.steppingouttheatre.co.uk/SteppingOutShowDetail.php?identifier=6400
