Newspaper cuttings – Blue Remembered Hills

Newspaper cuttings for Blue Remembered Hills (1999), written by Dennis Potter and directed by David Glass. Includes reviews and press coverage from various newspapers.

1943 in the Forest of Dean and a gang of seven year olds, played by adult actors, act out their fears, hostilities and rivalries.

Innocent nostalgia is shattered in a playfully anarchic staging of Potter’s classic tale. Performed by a multiracial ensemble in a highly physical European style on a set of old, discarded mattresses.
