Passionate About Plymouth

 

We are a small, independent, non-professional group of theatre-makers who work together voluntarily,

to create stories for and about our city and its area, which we tour for free to non-theatrical venues in order to raise money for local concerns and charities.

Our performance style focuses on telling stories simply but effectively, in non-theatrical spaces – with an emphasis on dramatic delivery.

FOR JAMES FROM JENNY AND PAUL

James

Rainbow colours in a monochrome world

Startling bright upon the outward eye

but inward, melancholy

unknown deep pool

 

James

You steadfastly shared six of our plays

Generously giving your time, your flat and ideas

(it was your idea to support TREVI)

From Everyman, to Star Child, to Dave to ‘Newbie’, cat man with cat bag,

And of course, the “conjurer” of Bodmin Moor…

Not forgetting your Shakespearean dish of

Culinary revengeful delights

What fun you had with words ‘soul doubt’

 

James

You said you were so pleased to know us

Expressed on a beautiful Christmas card

But we never really knew you – did we?

With your walls built so high, only your eyes in view

Searching, watching- perhaps asking, reaching,

Like a black cat, rescued but unsure….

 

James

Writing poems for you

For your Friday sessions

Emotional shipwrecks all of us

We miss you already, too soon, too gone

 

James sadly died on Friday 26th September 2025

 

 

If you are interested in our work and would like to join us 

we are always happy to welcome you.

Jenny and Paul Shryane
