I’m researching the story of Felixstowe Docks by talking to people who worked there… supported by Suffolk County Council @artscouncilengland.bsky.social and Eastern Angles 💛

Loved this. I used to live in Brandeston…so it was great to see this fresh, nuanced production including the fate of Rev John Lowes. Fantastic all-female cast, beautiful harmonies, catch it while you can. Congratulations Theatre Royal BSE!

Very true. “It is still very rare to have contemporary regional working-class voices on big main stages, unless it’s nostalgic. People need to see something of themselves to think there is a possibility that they can also do that.” Beth Steel. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...
