An original political drama tells the story of an impossible relationship, torn between two sides. Fox enters a place she doesn’t belong. Sparrow will do what it takes to protect her. Their relationship is under attack. How can they find intimacy when all else is lost? How can they communicate emotion and authenticity in a world of violence and divisiveness? Endure or confront?

Restless Successors are a new theatre company founded by Writer and Dramaturg Natalia Riga and Composer and Sound Designer Peter Buffery. Through their theatre practise, they explore what it is to reflect, be present in our communities and act on the big issues our society faces.

Fox & Sparrow is one of two debut projects they are bringing to TheatreFest 2024. You can also catch Moving On opening in the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon on the Thursday.

Note from Nat and Pete: “We’re excited to finally bring some work of our own to the festival after years of participating in other capacities. We’ll be volunteering across the festival – please come and find us if you’d like to chat! We’ll most likely be at St Anne’s.”
