The Show
Childe Rowlande does not believe in stories, or anything so whimsical thank you very much. But when his sister runs widdershins around the church and vanishes to The Other Side of Things he may be forced to widen his worldview. Can he confront the reality of what he refuses to value in time to save her from the Erlking? Designed with community at its heart, In The Stones tells the story of the parish church, your local area and all the myth, magic and folklore remembered by its stones.
"It really lifted my spirits… my heartfelt congratulations to you all." Hugh Bonneville, Actor
Musical, rich, complex and in the vein of 'Under the Milkwood', In the Stones is a new writing show that explores folklore, memory and community as remembered by our oldest buildings- the parish churches. Thoroughly researched and full of poetry, it is a fast paced hour designed to be remembered for many days afterwards.
"It was remarkable… in so little time you made the church a character within the show, rather than just a simple backdrop." Rev Stephen Baxter, St Stephen Walbrook, London
About Us
Troubadour Stageworks was founded in 2017, with the aim of creating a stage in any space. We achieved charitable status last year, in March 2021. Our field of action is the intersection of community, heritage and culture: we bring new people and new communities to forgotten spaces through theatrical performance and creative enterprise.
"Just been to see these talented, energetic, musical, passionate and comic actors… what a treat to watch live theatre again." Fliss Chester, author @SocialWhirlGirl
Within the last 5 years our venues have included 18th century formal gardens, a 14th century crypt in Bristol, London's West End, Powderham Castle and a Privy Council Chamber of Elizabeth I. As we have grown more of our vision can be established, and we recently expanded our community involvement work to include tailored school visits, talks, workshops and community participation within our shows.
