This month the MED Theatre are proud to present their annual community play: ‘Granite - At Breaking Point.

The theatre company’s work is always inspired by the history, ecology and folklore of Dartmoor, and this play was written collaboratively by a group of 10 writers as part of its ‘Stark Reality of Rural Living’ project, funded by Historic England.

Its a gritty, ensemble drama looking at the themes of life and work, stresses and strains, on Dartmoor in the 19th century and today. But though it which celebrates the worlds of dressmaking, fashion and sewing. With restaurants, cafes and free carparking, you can make a whole day - or three! - of it.
