About Lark Rise
By Keith Dewhurst, from the book by Flora Thompson
A summer’s morning at the close of the 19th century. 14 year old Laura, half playful, half astute, journeys through the first day of harvest to meet an extraordinary, eccentric and loveable cast of characters.
From field-workers’ chants in golden cornfields to long-lost songs in smoky taverns , the songs, laughter and everyday tragedies of the villagers of Lark Rise will immerse you in a forgotten, rural England.
This production involves a professional creative team and performers mixed with amateur actors, singers and dancers from across the community.
Performed in an immersive promenade, surrounding you with the action in a totally re-imagined Chippy Theatre auditorium.
Performed as a double bill with Barn Dance by Mike Bartlett.
Sponsored by Cotswold Grass Seeds.
Made possible by the generous support of sponsors and the Chipping Norton Theatre Commissioning Circle.

The theatre has has 217 seats, including stalls and a balcony. It is a resource for the community, and it is also a professional venue, welcoming over 55,000 customer visits every year.
It is something unique, but it is also different things to different people. It is the cause and subject of many arguments and debates; and a fair amount of acclaim and affection. It is complicated and a little eccentric.
It is not a little theatre. It likes to make a big noise.
