A NEW theatre show which will tour Somerset and Devon during September will make history when it starts rehearsals in Wiveliscombe Town Hall next week.

The one-man show, ‘No One is Listening’, will premiere in Wiveliscombe on September 6 and 7 before going on a small pilot tour ahead of a national tour next year.

The ghost story is written and performed by Vic Llewellyn and will be the first time in the hall’s history that a piece of theatre has been rehearsed and made there.

The Wiveliscombe Town Hall Trust is in the process of gradually opening the building to public performance and use by the community.

The trust envisages ‘No One is Listening’ as a beginning in the new life of the hall as a community arts space.

A series of six 10-minute podcasts is also being released which explore the themes of ghosts, memory loss, and fear.

The podcasts will be broadcast on local community radio station 10 Radio, which broadcasts from Wiveliscombe, on Friday evenings starting on July 26 at 9 pm.

They will also be available on www.vicllewellyn.co.uk as they are released.

Previously located in Bristol, Vic Llewellyn has been a resident of Wiveliscombe for nearly five years.
