Theatre by the Lake presents
Ascent/Descent (working title) (rehearsed reading of selected scenes)
Saturday 1 November | 3.30-4.30pmA work-in-progress sharing of a brand new verbatim play about Keswick Mountain Rescue Team.
Using their own words, those of the people they’ve rescued and the community they are grounded in, this is a story about what draws people to the mountains. From resuscitating runners to helicopter heroics, wrangling sheep to political wrangling, the lives and stories affected by KMR across the years stretch far and wide.
Ascent/Descent is an eye-opening, grounded and humorous look at the world of Mountain Rescue, and the ordinary folk who make up the extraordinary team here in Cumbria.
