This award-winning non-profit community theatre company primarily specialises in bringing to life the history and legends of Devon, in newly-researched and written shows.
In past centuries, smuggling of silks, tobacco and brandy, was rife along the coasts of the South West, and the smugglers invented ever more creative, and in some cases very humorous tactics to evade the law. In the case of 'Resurrection' Bob Elliott, he faked his own death in order to transport contraband to Totnes, under the noses of the coastguards, in a large coffin.
Later that night, the story tells, the local coastguards encountered Bob on the highway, and were convinced that they had seen a ghost.
From this escapade, Bob earned his nickname of 'Resurrection Bob'.
The Smugglers Hotel in Brixham town centre is said to have been where Bob lived at the time of the escapade, and indeed, that is how the hotel earned it's name.
Performers aged 16 and above are welcome.
