‘The Hardings’ is a new play about life in Devon during the Second World War, set on Dartmoor and created, written and performed by MED Theatre’s Young Company.
Based on research into events in the area at the time, the play deals with the changing roles of men and women occasioned by the war-time emergency and contrasts the local with the international picture.
The story, which began as a stage play, was thought up pre-pandemic, written and adapted into an audio drama over Zoom during lockdown, and rehearsed remotely until our Young Company could finally come together for recording in spring 2021.
We are really proud of what our young people have created and would love to hear your thoughts on it!
