The Rural and Community Touring Scheme is subsidised by the Arts Council East Midlands, Lincolnshire County Council and South Kesteven District Council and it enables events to be staged at our village hall that we could not possibly afford on money from ticket sales alone. These events at West Deeping Village Hall are promoted on behalf of the Village Hall Committee. Please give these events your support - you will not be disappointed!

Lark Rise to Candleford

'The hamlet stood on a gentle rise... we shall call it Lark Rise'

Flora Thompson's enduring portrait of growing up in rural Oxfordshire in the twilight years of the ninteenth century.
Now New Perspectives, acclaimed for its many productions exploring life in rural England, past and present, has transformed Flora Thompson's gentle masterpiece into a funny, touching, engrossing new theatre show - a faithfull account of this unsentimental yet deeply affectionate picture of village life, and a delightful introduction to an unforgettable cast of characters.

Farm Boy

The compelling sequel to War Horse is a moving account of the changing face of the English countryside and a beautifully-crafted reminder that stories really can reach out across the generations.
Now this magical tale of the bonds linking grandfather to grandson and untimately both to the land has been bought to life by critically-acclaimed New Perspectives Theatre Company in a delightful show combining drama, storytelling and original music.

Louis de Bernières and Ilone Antonius-Jones

In a superb blend of music, poetry and gentle banter, Louis de Bernieres, author of the famous Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Birds without Wings, reads from his own work and a range of poems. He also plays mandolin, guitar and woodwind, together with flautist and keyboard player, Ilone Antonius-Jones. The show focuses on readings from de Bernieres most recent novel A Partisan's Daughter, with complementary music originating from Serbia, Eastern Europe, along with classical, and even some Bob Dylan

How It Ended

Staged in the round with live music, the company of international actors play with the traditional storytelling format to explore a true story of cultural alienation and loneliness. The focus shifts from Wales during the Second World War to France in the immediate aftermath of liberation, keeping at its centre the fierce fading of a wartime romance.

Vivid, uncommonly sensitive dramatic entertainment... Beautifully realised

Not About Heroes

A moving and intimate drama by Stephen MacDonald about the real-life relationship between two great First World War poets, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.

"Just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had on Tuesday night. I would say that it was the best play / production I have ever seen, far better than some of the tosh on in the West end."
