The Boxford Masques: The Healing Tree

Watermill Theatre

Synopsis

A community play for West Berkshire The Boxford Masques’ 25th Anniversary show Written and directed by Ade Morris In a mysterious clearing in the heart of a once vast forest, stands an ancient tree, known to locals as The Healing Tree, and reputed to have magic powers. But this remnant of old England is threatened by reckless development, and so an extraordinary cast of characters gather, pilgrims from fiction, drama, and from legend, (alongside some haplessly theatrical locals) to resist the approaching chain-saws. Set under cover of a magical marquee canopy of trees, as the sun sinks over the beautiful village of Boxford, this original new play explores lives lived or dreamt, folk memories, myths, and ancient forces as they combine movingly to save the woods, to discover the pilgrims’ own destinies, and, with the help of The Healing Tree, music, dance and laughter, to begin new stories again.
