​VIRTUAL SEASON

As a response to live theatre, in the traditional sense, being closed for the autumn of 2020, we are now producing a season of online theatre. Tickets will be on sale shortly. As with our previous "virtual theatre", these shows will be available online through a link provided to ticket-buyers. Due to the online piracy of a previous virtual show, please be aware that the only place to purchase real, legitimate tickets, and be provided with the real viewing link, will be through our Ticketsource account. 

Viewers will be able to access the stream live, or watch for the subsequent two days (to allow for time zone differences), via a hidden link provided via email to ticket purchasers, the week before broadcast, on www.southdevonplayers.com. Tickets must be purchased before the streaming event.

The broadcast stream is designed to be accessible on all your home digital media, including computer, smartphone, tablet and internet-enabled TV.

Exploring the power and importance of storytelling, Snow follows three disparate storylines that all revolve around the fairy tale Snow White. Utilizing a structure similar to Cloud Atlas and The Hours, six actors playing multiple roles tell the stories of the Grimm Brothers (who originally collected and published the classic fairy tale), the Campbells (a Victorian theatrical family whose lives begin to mirror Snow White), and modern day Astrid (a young woman who, after her abusive mother puts her in a coma, must decide whether or not to wake up). Incorporating aspects of American Gods, and classic storytelling techniques a la Peter and the Starcatcher, Snow is a dark and moving play that mines our storytelling traditions both in style and subject matter. This work contains adult subject matter, including the death of a child, sexual content and drug use.

Alvina Houghton, the headstrong daughter of a widowed Midlands draper, comes of age just as her father’s business is failing. In a desperate attempt to regain his fortune and secure his daughter’s proper place in society, James Houghton buys a theatre. Among the travelling performers he employs is Ciccio, a sensual Italian who immediately captures Alvina’s attention. A celebration of freedom, however fleeting, and a testament to the power of the imagination to transform even the most mundane life.
The script has been vetted by international D.H. Lawrence scholar, Catherine Brown. Jessica Levinson Young, Artistic Director of Untold Theatre, writes, “I absolutely loved this script for The Lost Girl. It has incredible pace and the dialogue simply leaps off the page!" Another of Germaine Shames' D.H. Lawrence adaptations, THE VIRGIN and the GYPSY, received a reading at the 2018 Festival of New American Theatre.
