Workshops with David…
We are inviting potential detectives from the local community to help research this fascinating local story with our Researcher Barbara Crosbie, and will be presenting their findings in an exhibition. These findings will be used to inspire the creative writing sessions with Writer David Napthine. So elements of your writing could find their way into the play!
David will bring the findings and stories together to form the final script. The play will be performed by Drama in the Dales members, at Killhope Lead Mining Museum in August 2021, 100 years after the body was found.
