River theatre

What a fantastic venue for street theatre!

On one side: the old granary building, now a classy cafe. On the other: Thames sailing barges moored up on the Deben. As a backdrop: the white boards of the Tide Mill.

Early evening tonight's players drummed their way past Angel Lane as they walked down to the quayside. Then later, for much of my evening's walk along the river path, voices and silence drifted across the water from the foot of the old mill, itself lit by half a dozen lanterns.

And I missed the whole performance. Maybe next time.
