Big Big Sky

Nantwich Players are very proud to present Tom Wells’ Big Big Sky as the premiere of our new season. This heart-warming play is the perfect antidote to settle us in to the autumnal months as we wave goodbye to the summer sun.

Set in the small town of Kilnsea, East Yorkshire, Angie and Lauren are closing up the café for another winter. Lauren is on the cusp of her new life as an independent adult, having left the family home she shared with her bashful but loveable father, Dennis. Yet a new arrival to this sleepy town brings with him an infectious energy that forces everyone to reflect and re-evaluate what it means to them to be happy. This beautifully tender play explores love and loss in all its forms, and how a little bit of compassion can be enough to finally make someone feel whole.

First premiered in July 2021, this modern play radiates warmth, humour and humility – and this been reflected in the rehearsal process. Anastasia Newton, playing Lauren, says “Working on this play has been wonderful. The play is so heartfelt and I leave every rehearsal full of joy.”

Big Big Sky is a directorial debut for Nantwich Players’ acclaimed Sian Weedon who’s love for this play shines through on stage. She has fully encapsulated the tenderness of this play and achieved the perfect balance of humour and sensitivity to tell this beautiful story.
