24 May marks the 40th anniversary of the Tamar Bridge demonstration, involving more than four hundred women, who formed a human chain across the Tamar Bridge as a protest against the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the 1980s.

This new play tells the stories of some of those women and men of the South West who strove, against considerable personal and public odds, to “make a small difference” in saving the country from a nuclear nightmare. Script in Hand hope the play will inspire our audiences to find the time and the courage to stay engaged with some of the numerous issues that still blight our communities.

PART OF A YEAR-LONG SERIES OF RESIDENCIES AND CULTURAL EVENTS
This event is part of a year-long series of pop-up residencies and cultural and community events working with partners to experiment and explore the building, its surroundings, heritage and looks to the future in terms of sustainability, inclusion, food and drink, grassroots arts, music and culture.  The top floors have recently been converted into studios, which are now creative home to painters, audio artists, printmakers, installation and socially engaged artists.
