The Marsh - a play set in a courtyard off Lower Marsh Market in 1890 is being performed at the Glitch Theatre in Lower Marsh - Waterloo. Shows will be at 7 p.m. August 5th through to August 10th, with a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m.

The Marsh follows three women who work on the market - selling flowers and rags. Mari, the older of the two flower sellers has visions of a future she may very well have no place in. The production explores themes of friendship, neighbourliness as a kind of family and regeneration.

This year (as last) at the Waterloo Festival we have worked with Sculptors from the London Group on ekphrastic poems responding to their work. The results will be performed on the opening night of the festival - Thursday 9th July at 7 p.m. in the churchyard. The opening of the festival is from 6 p.m. and refreshments will be available - as will a cool and well ventilated crypt full of art!
