These encounters and conversations fed the writing of The Common, a performance work of five dialogues about life and land. Two performers (Charlotte Melia and Martin Hyder) play ten characters examining their...

“It seems the spring boost is more than just a housing myth,’’ said Barratt sales director Lee Monk. “Our research suggests that as soon as...
