In Search Of Pontiflunk is a delightful, eccentric and thought-provoking firsthand account of an unexpected pilgrimage to the heart of the English countryside. A unique blend of theatre, travelogue and manifesto from New Perspectives Theatre Company.
In the spring of 2007 writer Phil Smith laced up his walking boots and set off in the footsteps of Edwardian man-on-amission Charles Hurst, hoping to find out what had driven this mild-mannered engineer to down tools and walk. Would he find any evidence of the hundreds of oak trees that Hurst had planted on his epic journey through the heart of the country?
What he encountered was a countryside littered with the history of a hundred years of change, and transformed by cars careering up and down its highways and byways, but nonetheless populated by an extraordinary cast of characters, each with a heartfelt story to tell about their life and their connection to the places they call home.
We are delighted to welcome the New Perspectives Theatre Company's production to HotHouse festival. So enjoy something a little different that promises to make you laugh out loud and think about the future of the countryside.
Very limited availability, so please book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Suitable for adults and older children.
