Continuing summer’s watery theme, members of Dartington Playgoers and volunteers from Totnes Oxfam are getting together tonight at St John’s Church, Bridgetown at 7.30pm, for an assortment of words and music based on, in or around… water.
The Oxfam fundraiser is being directed by Canadian poet Mavis Jones, who said her brief was to come up with something entertaining and thought-provoking. She said was sprang to mind as an appropriate subject for Oxfam – which is committed to providing clean water for people all over the world.
She has come up with a range of songs, poems and prose, many of which will be surprisingly familiar to the audience, while some will be quite new.
The majority of prizes for the draw are from eateries throughout the town, and all interval refreshments will be Fair Trade, and Fair Trade goods will be on sale during the evening.
Programmes and tickets have been printed free of charge by Veasey’s and are available from both Oxfam shops in Totnes and at the door.
