Join ‘Suffolk boys’ Mike Warner and Richard Negus in a captivating conversation about custodianship of our countryside and coast.
Richard as a hedgelayer, and Mike as a fisherman, share many years experience of working ‘in the field’ and ‘out at sea’. They now also champion farming and fishing, which are such vital allies to our rural and coastal communities, landscape and wildlife.
Mike & Richard discuss the realities, challenges and successes of working the land and sea. As well as the future opportunities that can be harnessed to sustain a thriving countryside and coast.

Mike is a born and bred Suffolk food writer, specialising in telling the ‘Net to Plate’ story of how our seasonal and regional British catch is caught and landed, whilst connecting producer to consumer.

22nd December, 1917. There is a knock at the door of Millicent Fawcett’s home on Gower Street, Bloomsbury. Lady Ottoline Morrell has crossed from her home at 44 Bedford Square to express her condolences for the loss of a beloved sister.

Millicent Fawcett, leader of the suffragists, is about to open the door to the patroness of the Bloomsbury Group. Ottoline’s vast circle of friends includes Prime Ministers and novelists, painters and philosophers. Her world is tainted by the whiff of scandal and the whisper of notoriety. Millicent on the other hand has been unwavering in her dedication to the crusade for women’s suffrage.

Across The Square imagines what might have occurred in an encounter between these two sharply contrasting women from very different worlds. Each in their own way, Lady Ottoline Morrell and Millicent Fawcett have left an indelible legacy on our political and cultural landscape yet they have languished too long in the twilight of obscurity, overshadowed by others.

In a show full of both laughter and drama, Across the Square seeks to shine a light on these immensely influential women. Written by international award-winning writer, Non Vaughan-O’Hagan and directed by Alex Pearson, Across the Square had its premiere at the Bloomsbury Festival and a sellout revival at London’s Jermyn Street Theatre. Will these two extraordinary women find common ground? Two differing world views are about to collide over a glass of sherry.
