Truly Local

The Reason Why

The final episode of The Reason Why asks what it means to have a 'sense of place' and how to be truly local?
Seamas Carey investigates the social impact that Kneehigh Theatre had on Cornwall during the 1990's and how their work was shaped by the unique circumstances of a rural place. Then, after they achieved world wide fame (thanks to Emma Rice) Seamas wonders if people got left behind in the wake of ambition?
He also looks at the work of Cornish playwright and lobster fisherman Nick Darke - a good example of someone who was passionately local and universal.
