Synopsis
Make of our game
Just what you will
But let these three
Go through the mill.
When they’ve seen the daily grind
I wonder what else they will find?
The grain goes up
The flour comes down
And so the world goes round and round!
About the production
A play set in and around White Mill, revealing local folk stories and facts, including the story of the Knowlton Bell and the Shapwick Monster, and H S Joyce’s account of his life at White Mill in the 19th Century.
Anon said, ‘It brought together all ages and backgrounds to work for a common goal which in turn must have the effect of bringing the community close together by having something that they can all be proud of. It also offers a theatrical experience to those who might not have the opportunity elsewhere both for the actors and the audience. And it brings places to life.’
