The Croft
What's on Presented by Original Theatre, Joshua Beaumont & Huw Allen in association with Wiltshire Creative –About The Croft
The show contains themes of death and grief, brief depictions of violence, references to suicide and cancer, and some strong language.
The past won’t be silenced.
Based on a true highland story. In the remote Scottish Highlands two women arrive at a former Crofters Hut in the deserted village of Coille Ghillie. When suddenly the weekend getaway takes an unexpected turn. Cut off from the modern world, Laura and Suzanne find themselves drawn into the dark history of the Croft and the lives that passed before them.
In this bold and haunting play the present interweaves with the past as ancient tales surface and the terrifying truth lurking in the Croft is revealed.
The Croft will star Liza Goddard (Noises Off, Doctor Who, Bergerac), Caroline Harker (A Touch of Frost, Steel Magnolias, The Railway Children) and Gray O’Brien (Coronation Street, Casualty, Rebus: A Game Called Malice) with Gracie Follows (Birdsong) , Russell Layton (ART), Simon Roberts (Witness for the Prosecution) and Judith Rae (The Mousetrap).
Directed by Alastair Whatley (Birdsong) and produced by Original Theatre (Birdsong, Murder in the Dark, Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d), The Croft will be setting pulses racing this Spring.
