Daniel Bye, Boff Whalley and ARC Stockton present
These Hills Are Ours
Written and performed by Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley
Directed by Katharine Williams
Set by Syeda Bukhari
Commissioned by Beaford, Eden Project North, Lancaster Arts, Leeds Playhouse and Shoreditch Town Hall
Produced by ARC Stockton
Supported by ArtsDepot
Dan and Boff decided to run a series of routes from the centre of the city in which they found themselves, to the top of the peak overlooking the city.
In story and in song, this is the story of what they found out – about the relationship between city and country, between wild and controlled, about land ownership, about why we’re drawn to wild places – and about what we’re really running from.
These Hills Are Ours is the most personal piece of work either Dan or Boff has made, the most heartfelt, and the most direct. It’s really funny and genuinely moving.
Having been scheduled to open in March 2020, the tour finally began in May 2021, launching with the ludicrous Wild tour of Devon. It went on to tour extensively throughout the UK.
A full programme for the show is visible here.
