Rehearsals are in full flow for Breathing Spaces, a seventy minute journey through the social history of four of Nottingham’s most historic parks. A cast of around twenty five performers and musicians have been working for the past few weeks on the script that has been commissioned by the Historic Green Spaces project run by the University of Nottingham.

Alongside this we have recently finished filming ten monologues which provide an overveiw of the changing face and use of these green spaces from their inception, following the Enclosure Act of 1845, right up to the present day. For information on how to see the play – which is free and suitable for everyone – click here.
