The Somerset Charabanc: Eelie Day
Wassail and Reveal Productions
An intimate, spellbinding outdoor theatrical adventure across the Somerset Levels
Sam and Evie are getting married! They only met yesterday but fell instantly head over heels in love. As they find out what new-found love means, a ghost from the past comes out from the shadows.
Set and performed on a 1920’s miller’s cart pulled by two Suffolk Punch horses, the show passed through Langport, across the Somerset Levels to Muchelney and back again.
