Peapickers in East Anglia

Eastern Angles Theatre Company is to tour Nicky Werenowska's play Peapickers throughout East Anglia between March and May.

In the early nineteen sixties a trio of women, Susan, Ella and Marg go pea picking in the fields of North Essex. One day a black US airman arrives in his big car and starts courting Susan. The inevitable result, Daryl, gets passed around amongst the women before being sent over to America to be raised by his father.

Thirty-five years later, Daryl, a high-flying academic in the brave new world of the human genome discovery, returns to Cambridge for an international conference and drives down the same road.

Nicky Werenowska, whose own family went peapicking around Coggeshall, has written a fascinating play exploring the workings of nature and nurture and what makes up our inheritance.
