An upcoming tour and educational project will bring the legendary Reivers back to life.
Elysium Theatre Company is staging its production of Reiver—Tales from The Borders on a tour of the North throughout October.
Set in the 1500s, when Reivers ‘raiders’ terrorised the ungoverned Anglo-Scottish border, the play focuses on three characters, in three separate acts.
The tour visits Hexham, Durham, York, Arncliffe, Bishop Auckland, Alnwick, Newcastle, Berwick and Sutton on the Forest.
Elysium is also bringing a new writing initiative to schools across Durham and Northumberland.
