The production is hosted outdoors from 17-19 September at the National Trust’s Wicken Fen and 24-26 at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen. Performances run at 11am, 2pm, and 5pm each day.

His most recent work for radio, Song of the Reed, was recently broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Steve’s book The Secret Life of Plays was published by Nick Hern Books in 2010, and he recently published A Life in 16 Films: How Cinema Made a Playwright with Methuen Drama.
