Rings of Change • Knowlton Rings (1994)

A collage of stories from Neolithic, Christian and Medieval times, performed at Knowlton Church and Earthworks in April 1994, and October 1994 as part of Wimborne Arts Festival.

‘How many tales are spinning here
Spinning in Knowlton’s ancient round?
Records of life and death revolve,
In grooves of chalk and turf they sound.’

About the production

The play was written by Tony Horitz, Gill Horitz, Daniel Parker and Adrian Williams.

I saw the Rings of Change show and liked it immensely. There’s something magic about outdoor performances. . . and the lanterns and circle dancing (and food) all helped to make it a special evening. I was inspired by your production to read the thesis on Knowlton which is kept on reference in Wimborne Library.
