DRAMA IS CONFLICT Internal, external, personal and political, MESH stages the most compelling stories of human conflict.
Our shows create high impact, shared experiences around our conflicted past and unfolding present. Founded by Sally Woodcock in 2016, MESH is an acronym of her four grandparent's names - Margery, Ethilinda, Stanley and Herbert. MESH's first highly-acclaimed production was classic First World War play JOURNEY'S END by R C Sheriff (2017, 2018, 2019) in Ypres, Belgium, in the iconic Gunpowder Store, hosted by In Flanders Field Museum. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "See it - and weep" (Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph)
This was followed by a tour of THE SOLDIER by multi award-winning playwright Rachel Wagstaff (Flowers for Mrs Harris; Birdsong), inspired by the life of poet Rupert Brooke. The show opened in The Rupert Brooke Room at The Orchard, Grantchester in December 2018 and toured the UK & Belgium in 2019 to venues including Salisbury Playhouse; Kings College Cambridge; The Painted Hall at Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich; Great War Huts, Suffolk; The Macready Theatre, Rugby & St George's Church, Ypres. Recent productions include BANGING DENMARK by Van Badham, BULL by Mike Bartlett and THE TERMINUS by Nigel Fair.
