If you go down to the woods today . . . | 2020 Interim Season

Vexed by lockdown life, Tom and Claire escape for a romantic weekend, camping next to the Theatre in the Woods. Intoxicated by freedom, they stumble upon unrecognisable characters within themselves. But will they escape with their lives (and their marriage) intact?

Nicky Spence and Kitty Whately perform a self-devised, directed and filmed duo-drama, with the aid of songs by Britten, Dove, Schumann, Brahms, Faure, Hahn, Weir, Sondheim, Gershwin and a world-première setting by baritone Roderick Williams of The Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
