The Town Mill, Lyme Regis
Director: Ian Stephens
The commission to create a site-specific work based on the story of the coming of electricity to the town of Lyme Regis didn't sound particularly promising. But it resulted in a fascinating, highly comedic trip around the Mill guided by six quick-witted and spontaneous performers.
We were fortunate to be able to draw on source material from the fascinating book Electric Lyme by Martin Roundell Greene.
