The Lone Pine Club Adapted by Alice Birch, A Pentabus Theatre Company production, in partnership with the National Trust, the Malcolm Saville Society and the Malcolm Saville Estate
We commissioned award winning playwright Alice Birch to create a new play based on the children’s books by Malcolm Saville about a group of children who have adventures in the countryside. A bespoke performance environment – a touring tent – popped up across the UK. Performed with high energy, a live soundscape, song and puppetry, there were 27 shows in 5 places to 1,337 people in some of the most beautiful and remote areas of the UK.
“Made me cry with delight – it’s genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever seen … Made me want to go adventuring again!” Audience member, Northumberland “A treat for all ages … terrific and unexpectedly moving.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
