Blue
Remembered Hills, by
Dennis Potter,
is ACT's first production of an established work.
Prior to this production our own script-writing team have
delivered excellent scripts & we have elected to perform these
pieces. It was originally written for television and first broadcast in
1979, Dennis Potter relates the activities of seven seven-year-olds on
a summer afternoon during the Second World War.
The action of the play is set in a field, a wood and in and around a nearby barn.

The plot: The play is set in 1943 in the West Country. With the war in the air, and the world of adults still a mystery. The lansscape of woods and hills becomes a children's playground, far from the troubles of war. There they explore Friendships and loyalties with all the excitement, joy and cruelty that children are capable of.
