Check out this lovely recap of the site specific street theatre project we produced for The Ouseburn Festival this year. 'What have the Romans done for us?' was developed and delivered by associate producer Lindsay Nicholson who worked with and in surrounding communities, creating deeper connections to the festival.
With a community cast and site-specific surprises we invited guests to explore what it means to live in the shadow (or glory?) of a fallen empire, co-creating work with the communities surrounding the Ouseburn.
Big thanks to James Grant for great video.
