Recycling takes centre stage at summer festival
By admin on Jun 15, 2008 in Recycling
A theatre company in Devon is hoping to stage a theatre production using a set, props and costumes made from only recycled items. The Plymouth Summer Festival show, One Small Step… One Giant Leap, is taking place at the Royal William Yard from 24 July to 1 August.
So Strange Youngens and Plymouth Youth Dance Company are appealing for any unwanted items that they can use for the production, including unwanted wetsuits, briefcases, business suits and old mobile phones. After the show has finished all the materials used will be recycled again.
Alexandra Harris, one of the performers, said: “We want this performance to open people’s minds and think about the imprint they are making on the world.”
Anyone who would like to help out by donating items to the production is asked to contact the Barbican Theatre.
