THE FOUNTAIN OF LIGHT
We have commissioned a new play, The Fountain of Light by David Calcutt, Zainab Rao and Rajan Sharma. We are planning a production in 2027. Watch this space!
The Fountain of Light is a large‑scale, site‑specific theatre project which will be performed in Dudley Canal and Caverns. The underground landscape will be turned into an the site of an ancient, mythical city at war...
The production will bring together professional artists, community performers and young people, using theatre, movement, music, song, video and installation to create a unique and immersive experience.
To date, we have been working with actors, dancers, musicians and young people, to develop ideas for the project. On this page you will find images and film of some of the work-in-progress.

Their journey ends in a strange encounter - and a terrible beauty is born...
