Ropewalk House [Drama On 3]

A daring new site-specific theatre piece set in a derelict rope factory.

Written by Anita Sullivan. Featuring members of the Shunt Collective.

On the first day of rehearsals the cast arrives to begin devising a new work, based loosely around the minotaur myth. The director, Jarek, is known for creating bold, immersive theatre productions. The warehouse once boasted the world's longest `ropewalk`, the narrow corridor stretching the length of the building, and supplied rope to the Royal Navy. Jarek's cast includes old friends alongside aspiring young actors. As they explore the venue they discover it has unpredictable physical properties, with disturbing consequences.

Recorded on location at the Fish Factory Studios.
