Bentwater Roads

Synopsis:
Eastern Angles present a spectacular site-specific theatre production staged on the old USAF airfield at Bentwaters. Charlie arrives in Suffolk in her bright yellow campervan believing she has no connection with the county. But, as her story unfurls, she finds that the place known as 'Bent Waters' is full of hidden secrets. . .Exciting sound, music and video plus a large cast of professional actors and a 'community chorus' all combine to make Bentwater Roads the summer theatre event of 2010.

Bluethroat, The

Synopsis:
Set on the north Norfolk coast in 1890 and the present day. An obsessive Victorian bird collector appears in a tiny coastal village in search of the elusive bluethroat for his collection. During the course of the hunt a young girl is murdered. A hundred years later a bird illustrator in crisis brought on by a loss of faith in his work arrives in the same place and begins to uncover what happened to the girl. His obsession with a barmaid at the local pub has uncomfortable echoes of the bird collector's obsession with the bluethroat.

Long Life & Great Good Fortune of John Clare, The

Synopsis:
Eastern Angles tell the story of a man who believes he is the peasant poet' John Clare. the psychiatrist tries to fathom the reasons behind her patient's delusion but her partner is fixated on his own version of the legend. In their search for the truth the characters reveal some startling stories. John Clare is remembered for his life more than his poetry - labourer, womaniser, walker, visionary, lunatic. In Tony Ramsay's play, a new history emerges.

Message From Neptune

Synopsis:
A black comedy of science and discovery in which an unsung astronomer in a run-down attic in Cromer discovers the existence of Neptune. He might have become famous for it if only life - in the shape of a psycopathic debt collector, a beautiful woman dying of cancer, a seamstress who wants to become a scientist, and a helpful colonic irrigationist - hadn't kept getting in the way.
