Before Lockdown, the cast from Southmead’s community soap opera, Meadows to Meaders (that is written and performed by local residents) were working with theatre designer, Katie Sykes in Southmead Library to create props and costumes for our third episode, Love on the Mead which has been postponed to a time that is safe for all participants and audience members.
Virtual rehearsals are continuing on an online platform during Lockdown and were joined for one session by Paul Walker from Bristol Libraries to feature in the library podcast series, Shelf Life. https://soundcloud.com/user-248096612/shelf-life-4-meaders-wouldnt-say-it-like-that-local-learning-in-southmead
The stories that inform the Meadows to Meaders script are based on true events and the cast have been remembering their early library experiences, some from a time before Southmead Library was built.
