Saltmine Theatre Company present The Soul in the Machine in Exeter

Saltmine Theatre Company is delighted to announce their brand new theatre production ‘The Soul in the Machine: George Williams – YMCA Founder’ which will be performing at Belmont Chapel, Exeter on Saturday 21st May 2016.

“We are more than bodies to be fed to a machine. We are made for more than work. We have souls, we have spirits and somewhere in this dead city there must be a place for those things.”

London, 1844 - Centre of Empire, crucible of the New Jerusalem. Her gutters run with effluent and blood and her skies are choked with the smoke of a hundred factories and foundries, but above the smoke, the stars still shine. George Williams is a country boy who comes to the city to find his place in the world and to make his mark. Appalled by the spirit-crushing rhythms of the Worker’s life he fights to spread the light of God, and create a place where the soul can be nurtured.

Commissioned by YMCA, Created by Saltmine Trust, The Soul in the Machine is a play for anyone who works for a living.

Part of registered charity Saltmine Trust, Saltmine Theatre Company is a professional theatre company with a Christian ethos performing in Schools, Churches and mainstream theatres in the UK and Northern Ireland.

The Soul in the Machine will be performed at Belmont Chapel, Exeter as part of its premiere tour.

The performance is suitable for everyone aged 12 and over.
