·            ‘The Southbury Child’ will be Dartington Playgoers’ summer production at Totnes Civic Hall, written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Jeremy Balfour. “Sharp-witted, wilful and frequently drunk, vicar, David Highland has kept a grip on his parish through a combination of disordered charm and high-handed determination. But when his conscience forces him to take a hard line with a parishioner who wants Disney balloons at a family funeral, he finds himself dangerously isolated from public opinion. As his own family begins to fracture, David must face a future that threatens to extinguish not only his position in the town, but everything he stands for. A very funny play, a deeply humane exploration of family, faith, tradition and tolerance in a changing society". More details to follow.
