Devon and Cornwall Stage Manager Call Out

Project Outline

This is an urgent and exciting moment to develop ‘Mine’, a play rooted in Cornwall’s shifting identity, where the past and future of mining collide. As lithium extraction returns to former tin and clay sites, many still within living memory, questions around industry, place, and personal identity rise to the surface. This dual narrative, Cornwall’s industrial legacy and its future role in the energy transition, is the heartbeat of ‘Mine’ but it’s also a personal story. At its centre is a rekindled past love between two women now living very different lives. At its heart, ‘Mine’ asks how identity is shaped by land, labour, and love. It creates space for underrepresented voices, of women, queer people, and a Cornwall beyond the postcard.
