Mystery Quest October half term 2017

Dance in Devon worked with Play Torbay on one of their fabulous Quest projects in October half term. Inspired by the writings and explorations of Agatha Christie, young people aged 7 and over devised a fun, exciting and interactive promenade theatre QUEST performance for all the family involving audiences in bringing history to life!

And…they did it all in a week! This was a collaborative production with young people from Play Torbay, final year Drama & Performing Arts Students from the University of Gloucestershire and Far Flung Dance Theatre as part of the International Agatha Christie Festival at Torre Abbey.
