Max Porter's Lanny reimagined as woodland theatre in the Mendips

A new stage adaptation of Max Porter's novel Lanny is being staged in woodland in the Mendip Hills, with composer Dom Coyote and sound designers Elena Peña and Dave Price turning the sunlit forest itself into an instrument, layering trip-hop-inspired rhythms through the trees. Written by Kate Wyver, the feature explores whether Porter's mythic tale can truly be heard in its natural setting.

Why now: The novel Lanny has a strong literary following, and staging it outdoors in woodland is an unusual, immersive production drawing curiosity.
