Bampton in Devon

In Medieval England, miracle plays used to be performed by people young and old in towns and villages all over the country and taken around on a cart. Here in Bampton, in conjunction with our school, we have produced Benjamin Britten's wonderful setting of Noah's Flood, not on a cart but in our church.

It was a big project involving lots of people - help with staging, set-building, lighting, and costumes, as well as singers and string, brass, woodwind, or percussion players. A number of young people and children took part.
