1157performancegroup / Farnham Maltings
April 2006
Farmed Out was commissioned by Farnham Maltings for the Upstix/Pride of Place Festival 2006 in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Performance developed in collaboration with 1157performancegroup.
Written for one actor and three ghosts (shown as film projections), the piece explored the decline of UK farming and the poetry of ramshackle buildings and industrial rural landscapes. As well as writing the text, Mark played the part of Old Spiller in the film sequences.
