Horse + Bamboo Theatre are planning to produce a small scale production entitled DEEP TIME CABARET, set to tour regionally in October 2009. The play will be written and directed by Bob Frith, and will take its inspiration from the Heritage Lottery funded Valley of Stone project and from a recent exhibition held in our performance space at the Boo, in December 2008.
