Previous events and exhibitions
 'Gonamena'
- now available on DVD!
Following the very successful run of performances at the Sterts Theatre
in the summer Gonamena is now being made available to the public on a
specially produced DVD filmed at one of the sellout shows.
Gonamena is the story of a Cornish family
and community living through an extreme time of irreversible change. Set
in the stunning Gonamena Valley and the mining landscape of the Caradon
Hill area, the story focuses on ‘Gonamena’, the home of one family
as they face up to the epic challenge of rapid transformation, and the
accompanying loss and hope, during the mining boom and bust of the late
1800s.
Written by local writer, Simon Parker, the play is based
on real events and evokes the emotional turmoil and extremes of opinion
amongst the frontier-like existence of the many thousands of people that
descended on the valley during the high of the copper ore mining period.
The majority of the actors, creative team and technical
crew are from the immediate Caradon Hill area and have worked alongside
professionals from Cornwall to bring this moving and captivating tale to
life.
Gonamena was presented as part of the Darke Visions Festival, running from spring 2009 to
summer 2010, which celebrates the life and legacy of Nick Darke -
Cornwall’s foremost playwright and was directed by Simon Harvey with original music
composed and conducted by Simon Dobson.
If you would like to
order one or more copies of Gonamena please send a cheque / cash or
postal order for £10 per copy (£8.50 + £1.50 postage and packaging) to:
