The Shrine of Passion - Introduction: Welcome to the Shrine

For this very first episode we sit down amongst the bluebells of Tehidy Woods in Cornwall with theatre-maker, writer and actor Ollie Oakenshield from Rogue Theatre. We explore what theatre, writing, performance, humanity, nature, tribe and family means to him, and discuss the work of Rogue Theatre, and what goes into bringing fantastical universes to life in natural spaces.
