Red Skies Over the Severn

Red Skies Over the Severn is a full-length stage play for a cast of seven (5M, 2F) plus a young boy. It was commissioned and professionally produced by the Worcester Theatre Company in 2001. It was positively reviewed by Michael Billington in The Guardian and by Charles Spencer in The Daily Telegraph. The action is set on a Worcestershire farm during the foot and mouth epidemic of 2001. As the farm is isolated in quarantine the pressures begin to build on the family.
