Paines Plough: Come To Where I'm From
I volunteered with Paines Plough on their three-day instillation event called ‘Come To Where I’m From’.
‘Come To Where I'm From’ was a theatrical tapestry of the UK, woven by writers asking if home is really where the heart is. Since 2010, 100 playwrights from across the UK had returned to their hometowns to write plays about the places that shaped them.
At theatres from Bristol to Belfast, Cardiff to Coventry and Nottingham to Newcastle, these plays were performed by the playwrights themselves, travelling home to tell their tale.
Now this five-year project culminated with a three-day installation and the launch of a smart phone app. An interactive 3-D map of the UK allowed listeners to hear tales of home from 100 of the UK's finest playwrights, by picking up headphones scattered around the map in various geographical locations. A free-to-download smart phone app also still offers people the chance to hear a playwright's travel guide to Britain.
