Theatre by the Lake presents

Hefted (rehearsed reading)

by Eireann Devlin Thursday 30 October | 7-8.30pm

Father and daughter, Bab and James, are as rooted to each other as they are to their land. How do they cope when disease starts spreading and Bab starts wanting something more from life?

Set on an isolated Cumbrian sheep farm, ‘Hefted’ explores the effects that trauma has on our relationship with home and highlights how Foot and Mouth ripped a hole in the heart of the Lake District.

Join us for a rehearsed reading of this compelling new play, developed as part of TBTL and Paines Plough’s Tour The Writer artist development programme. 

This event is available as part of the CumbriaFest Thursday Evening ticket and the CumbriaFest Thursday Festival Pass.
