Western Theatre Ambassadors: Sophie's Barn, Chacombe

"That’s the Ambassadors, by the way, of Western Washington University, in the US city of Bellingham – though the photograph on the right might easily lead you to a different conclusion.

A group of seven young performers from this state-funded academy are in Oxfordshire this week on what has become an annual visit to Sophie’s Barn, a performance space commemorating Sophie Large, killed aged 19 in a road accident, at her parents’ home in Chacombe. Their Northwest Shorts were presented to a full house there last night, and will be given again tonight at The Mill in Banbury."
