In December 2021 Beaford was delighted to present an evening of performances and talks about climate action to coincide with the United Nation’s COP26. One of a series of events that took part across the globe as part of Climate Change Theatre Action.
The evening featured performances by professional actors from North Devon’s Theatre Workhouse alongside talks and discussion with Andy Bell from North Devon Biosphere and Claire Moodie from Plastic Free North Devon.
Our fantastic colleague Matt Biggs of Artaura Productions was there to film the whole evening and we’re proud to share with you the series of short five minute plays by international playwrights.
