The Marsh Demons of Iken

Many
people will remember the performances of Rust and Stardust in Orford Church
over the past few years. The members of this talented young puppet company have
presented their interpretation of many local Suffolk folk tales including The
Wild Man of Orford, The Green Children of Woolpit, and Black Shuck. This last
one was a collaboration with the children of Orford school producing their own
puppets as part of the national Arts Award Scheme and running wild as Shuck’s
pack through Orford Church to the delight of the audience in 2018.

Rust
and Stardust have been successful in securing an Arts Council grant to fund
another collaboration with Key Stage 2 children at Orford School and Bawdsey
School this year.

The
theme of this year’s project will be The Marsh Demons of Iken covering the curious
goings on with St Botolph and Iken Church. Anyone who witnessed the
enthusiastic children performing Black Shuck won’t want to miss this event.
Anyone who missed Black Shuck doesn’t know what they missed and should make
sure they don’t miss The Marsh Demons of Iken.

Originally
planned for April 2020 the performances were postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic,
but we have now rescheduled for 2 performances in Orford Church on Friday 9^th
July. The first will be at 1 o’clock and the second at 6 o’clock. Each
performance will last approximately 60 minutes.

Refreshments
will be available before and after each performance.

Tickets are £7.50 for adults and £2.50 for children.
