Whispers of the Severn is a site-specific, promenade theatre production that takes audiences on a journey through Bewdley's most atmospheric locations, including the historic Severn Valley Railway station, the Black Boy Inn, and the banks of the River Severn. The performance will weave together local ghost stories, historical events, and original folklore, creating a unique and unforgettable experience. The creative team will collaborate with local historians and residents to gather authentic tales, ensuring the production is deeply rooted in Bewdley's heritage. The show will be performed in short, repeated cycles over two evenings, allowing small audience groups to rotate through different scenes. This format not only enhances the immersive quality but also accommodates social distancing and small-scale production constraints. The project leverages the growing trend of experiential and immersive theatre, offering a portfolio-worthy piece that showcases innovative storytelling and community engagement.
