Rising Waters

A magical fish, a mysterious girl and a message for the world. In the midst of Rising Waters, what does the river have to tell us? And will we be brave enough to listen?

Produced by Valley Arts this brand-new play written for the Chew Valley is influenced by the ideas and lived experiences of Chew Valley residents, acknowledging the multi-layered history of the area. The culmination of over a year in the making, and hundreds of community participants, this project asks us to consider how we will thrive alongside the rising waters of the future.

Created by a community cast and a professional creative team.
