Quest Play Torbay
Last year a team of artists and playworkers worked with over 30 young people to live Quest performances at three heritage venues in Torbay: Greenway, Cockington Court and Torquay Museum. These magical performances combined theatre, film, sound, animation and photography sharing histories and stories at each location
Torbay Story Hunters
The final phase of this project is the creation of an on-line digital trail encompassing the different elements of Quest Play, film, photographs, animations and sound recordings. The aim of the trail is to provide a game-like experience which encourages people to visit the three sites in the future. This evening will launch the Torbay story hunters digital trail
