FORT
DesignerSouth West Tour, 2024
1am. An Iron Age hillfort in North Dorset.
Fifteen-year-old best friends, Viv and Daisy, are waiting for a ghost. Daisy has seen him three times. Viv wants to see for herself.
When Daisy gets pregnant and insists this ghost is the father, the girls’ previously unbreakable bond begins to crack. Daisy camps on the hillfort, refusing to return home, while Viv has her own problems - a sick brother, a struggling mother, not to mention a herd of vengeful cows.
‘Fort’ is a new play about two teenage girls growing up and growing apart.
‘The designers create an atmospheric setting for the mysterious storyline and at times you feel things might be about to go “bump in the night”’ -Stage Talk Magazine
‘A sure-fire triumph... Fort is much more than a local entertainment. Its insights are profoundly touching, humorous and totally convincing.’ - The Fine Times Recorder
