The Lizard, Cornwall

LAFTA presents "FAULT" - an original play by Tamara Stidwell.
2024-08-30 19:30 - 20:00 (Europe/London)
“A play about the power of laying your ghosts to rest…”
This original play written and directed by Tamara Stidwell is set on a Cornish beach-house overlooking Kennack Sands.
Exploring love, grief and redemption through poetry, film, and of course, Cornish humour, delve into a night of deliciously daft & (sometimes) deep drama that is bound to kick up the dust.
Kenza Trewin has returned to her childhood home Wild Acres. After renting out the spare room she meets her new lodger, a strange steam-punk man who goes by the name Mr Skins. But he hasn’t come here by mistake, he was sent here by those cheeky sprites! But what is he doing on that bicycle cracking into the stones late at night? And why is her neighbour Janet suddenly calling herself Janet of the Granite (and not just because of her lovely set of boulders)?
As film flickers through the kitchen window, we reminisce with Kenza on her childhood spent with her beloved late brother Bobby. As we get under the skin of The Lizard and crack through the fault lines, we learn how to forgive our faults and finally lay our ghosts to rest.
We are excited to announce that the performance dates for our 2024 show ‘FAULT’ will be:
· Wednesday 28th August
· Thursday 29th August
· Friday 30th August
At 7:30 pm, The Temple Tent, Kynance Camping.
