A new play from Particular Theatre Company
Written by Shaun McCarthy and produced by Particular Theatre Company, Beanfield has been written to highlight an often-forgotten event that occured twenty-five years ago in the South West. On the 1st June 1985, a convoy of several hundred new-age travellers was attacked by riot police as they made their way to Stonehenge for the 14th annual Stonehenge free festival. Vehicles were destroyed, dogs put down and many people were seriously wounded as police pursued those attempting to escape across the Beanfield.
