Acerca del libro
The End of the Journey was a promenade theatre piece based on World War One, written by Gillian Plowman, directed by Pamela Howard and performed by Arts Dream Selsey with local community and professional actors.
The play made use of the connection between Selsey and playwright R C Sherriff, who wrote the original play Journey's End partly at his mother's house in the town. Sherriff took a keen interest in a late 1933 amateur production of his play, which had been a hugely successful and influential West End hit in 1929, when it was performed in this very theatre, which is now disused but was cleared for this production.
For Director Pamela Howard, The End of the Journey is part of a long term investigation into re-invigorating ‘unloved and forgotten spaces’ through artistic projects. This form of urban regeneration has brought new life to many old or under-used buildings. Currently used as as a builders’ yard, the listed front of the Pavilion Theatre - later Selsey's cinema - was once a famous landmark on the South Coast Touring circuit that went from Portsmouth to Eastbourne. Through the generosity of the owner of the building, and under the banner of the Charity ‘Arts Dream Selsey’ we were able to demonstrate what could be done for this Jewel in the Crown of Selsey town, as part of the World War One commemorations in August 2014.
