fell is a compelling  story of  2, funny, sensitive young lads trapped by a lack of hope and the challenges of living in a  rural community.

Choppards Mission

This October, fell , Chris Salt’s moving new play, exploring the friendship and challenges between two troubled teenagers growing up in the Lake District, is set to tour to Choppards Mission as part of a UK tour.Cumbrian schoolboy Lyle walks out of his life and up into the mountains of the Lake District. On the edge of a mountain lake, he meets Jake, whose life is as far removed from Lyle’s as possible. Over the course of 24 hours together, they each discover they are no longer sure who they really are or what the future holds for them. At the mercy of the elements, all they have is each other. Produced by Edgeways Productions and directed by Janys Chambers (North and South, Pitlochry Festival Theatre), fell’s cast will feature Ned Cooper (Spark, Arcola Theatre and The Full Monty, Disney+) and Tom Claxton (A Manchester Anthem, Vault Festival, as well as appearing in SAS Rogue Heroes, BBC and George Clooney’s forthcoming film The Boys in the Boat, MGM).fell was runner-up at both the Octagon Theatre National Prize and the Papatango Prize competitions and toured briefly in February 2020 to sell-out audiences, but was cut short due to the Covid pandemic. Playwright Chris Salt lives in Holmfirth and until 2014 he balanced an award-winning television career with a wealth of non-broadcast work, before prioritising his writing. In 2017 he was selected as a founder member of the Royal Court (Northern) Writers’ Group.Chris says:&quot;I am excited to be touring ‘fell’ this autumn. After COVID, the themes of friendship, emotional resilience and mental well-being explored in the play seem more relevant than ever. And in an era where the idea of what it means to be ‘a man’ or ‘masculine’ continues to expand, it feels important to diversify this conversation to include young men who live in isolated communities or who feel isolated from any sense of community. Jake and Lyle represent the marginalised lads who lack positive role models and whose future can be devoid of hope and ambition with often devastating consequences.&quot;
