The First Cut al fresco
Al Fresco shows at Powderham
The First Cut was Estuary's first venture into outdoor performance, and we were lucky to be able to perform in the courtyard of Powderham Castle in the early autumn of 2020, as socially distanced outdoor gatherings became possible again. It was a slightly shorter show, and we lost some scenes, but it was well received and after the first year we went on to perform the show at Powderham again the following year. To coincide with Topsham Museum's summer exhibition on the Ship Canal, we revived the show again in the summer of 2023 in a garden on the Strand, to a backdrop of the River Exe and the canal beyond.
