The Southbury Child introduces us to David Highland, a Dartmouth vicar who has known difficult times both personally and professionally. He is confronted by an angry community as he refuses balloons in the church for a small child’s funeral.

 

This brilliantly observed play, by BAFTA winner Stephen Beresford, brings together a fascinating set of characters, each with their own story to tell. Despite the subject matter, Beresford peppers the script with biting humour that is laugh-out-loud, whilst heartfelt anguish is never far away.

 

A naturalistic play that reflects many of modern life’s struggles before a backdrop of the church and its traditions. A real treat for a thought provoking night out. Please note - contains swearing and adult themes.

​

We are delighted that Stephen Beresford will take part in a Q&A hosted by Jo Loosemore, following the performance at the Flavel.
