Details

Surrounding the town of St Austell is the vast hinterland of the China Clay Country. This ravaged landscape has been home to generations of clay workers, their families and a burgeoning culture of brass bands, football, tug-of-war and Methodism. The enormous tips heaped by today's modern machinery conceal the buried chapels, schools and villages of the past. This play attempts to explore the stories that lie buried beneath those tips. The Kettleboys and Captains are among the large cast of characters who celebrate the life of the clay villages.
