 Several months of project work with the Get Changed Theatre Company participants on the hot topic of respect and equality is ready to share with audiences in the shape of our latest performance :

 
Star Wars Episode 4 1/2 The Last Hope.
 
The project has been designed to explore the principles of rights, independance, choice and inclusion for all and we are now proud to present a hilarious re-imagining of George Lucas’ classic adventure story.  Join us in a Galaxy far away (well, Okehampton) as our heroes battle the forces of Evil in a desperate bid to save civilisation.  Can Luke rescue the Princess? Will Obi-Wan & Obi-Two defeat big Vader & little Vader? Is a Wookie a bear? How on earth will they blow up the Death Star on stage?  To find out the answers, use the force & join us on Fri 13th & Sat 14th April 7.30pm at the Octagon Theatre, Okehampton College, Mill Road Okehampton .
