An unforgettable experience for all ages taking you on a theatrical journey

South Deep to Blood Alley

5, 6, 7 May 2012, shows at 11am and 4pm

Bookings 01202 707744

This enchanted island is brought to life with original song, film, soundscape and performance both on land and at sea.

Expect squirrels, comedy, music, and more squirrels as the past collides with the present. There'll be Vikings, a hermit, thousands of daffodils blowing in the breeze, musical instrument playing residents, cocktail parties, scouts and refugees, bird spotters, swimmers, Prospero adrift on the wrong island and in the wrong show, lovers meeting and never leaving and the ever present figure of the last private owner who fought so hard to let the island run wild…

This extraordinary event starts with a ferry journey from Poole Quay and lasts three hours, delivering you back to Poole Quay afterwards. The cost of the ferry journey is included in the price of your ticket. The show is suitable for all ages. You should dress for the weather and be prepared for a good walk. You may need sensible shoes, binoculars, water bottle, camera and even a compass.
