All Is Mended (the play) is a comedy with a serious side. A repurposing of A Midsummer Night’s Dream telling a new story of life in a care home. A shape-shifting drama, funny and sad, real and dreamlike, a tale of resilience and sacrifice, magic and memories, of life and death and of course love. Interwoven with our collected conversations with local elders and with just 2 actors playing all the parts.
All Is Mended tours across Devon from September through to December 2021, come and be away with the fairies for a hour...

Marbling Art created by Care Home Residents
"The wall hangings were created by the residents using various techniques such stencilling, stamping and painting. Working over a period of several weeks each artist was encouraged to contribute what they were able, while working we talked about their lives, gaining information on family and careers which were then reflected by the photos imposed onto the hangings. ‘Bottom’ sleeps under a tree dreaming of the residents of St Swithun’s life experiences. The Coppelia House residents explored love and romance in the depth of the woods with the fairies enhanced by wedding photos."-Bridget Cordory
