About Lark Rise

Two epic community theatre productions, bringing together a huge cast of professional and amateur performers. Experience the world of rural Oxfordshire unfolding around you as you step into a transformed theatre, moving from field to tavern to barn, guided by performers through the space and story. With places to perch, and places to stand, this is The Theatre as you’ve never seen it before.

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.

Performed as a double bill with Barn Dance by Mike Bartlett.

Made possible by the generous support of our sponsors and the Chipping Norton Theatre Commissioning Circle.

Supported by The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust and Chipping Norton Town Council.
