Mrs Buscombe's Brown Betty | Kneehigh Theatre
DIRECTOR & WRITER
In April 1939, the Tywardreath Women’s Institute was founded. Mrs Buscombe’s favourite of the WI's monthly planned activities? Baking Brown Betty. She shared her baked goods with all who cared to ask, but that's not all she shared. Rumour has it, Mrs Buscombe has returned to wreak havoc with her gossip on the St Austell bay coast path...
A pop-up, promenade performance commissioned by Kneehigh Theatre as part of the Random Acts of Art festival.
