“Tomb To Womb” is a unique piece of theatre which travels backwards through the decades, sharing with the audience life experiences which shape the main character’s personality.

Faced with losing control of her future, Margaret reflects back on her past. This often funny, sometimes moving one act play takes the audience on an emotional journey back through a selection of Margaret’s memories, enabling them to understand and relate to her.

The three-strong cast play Margaret and eighteen other significant characters in her life. All costume changes and scene transitions are played out in full view as an intrinsic part of the play. This ensures the audience’s constant involvement and a smooth journey through the sixty nine year time span of the piece.

Whether you enjoy stunning physical theatre or fast-paced emotional storylines, “Tomb To Womb” has something for everyone!

“Tomb To Womb” was written by, and stars, Kathryn Penton and Colin CGN Ward, founders of “2 Boards & A Passion” Theatre Company. Actress Helen Burke completes the trio in their Buxton and Edinburgh Fringe debuts. The play is directed and choreographed by award-winning Michael Ward.
