Event information
Join James Richardson of Angel Heart Theatre for an evening of Dartmoor stories shaped by 46 years of living on its wild edge. Moving there as a 12-year-old in 1979, James grew up among some of the last locals of an older Dartmoor, whose knowledge, humour and hard-won wisdom left a lifelong mark.
His working years as a tree-planter and dry-stone waller took him deep into the landscape through harsh winters and long, quiet days outdoors, forming a bond with the land that he now considers his spiritual home. A recent five-day journey into the heart of the Moor’s ancient oak woods adds a new chapter to this relationship.
Through spoken-word readings, haiku, curious found objects and two colourful puppet characters, James welcomes you to Field System Gallery. A puppeteer since 1999 and co-author of The High Oak and This Ragged Edge, he is currently writing a collection of short stories set on Dartmoor.
