Something Wonderful in my Back Yard
A sparkling new musical
by Matt Harvey and Thomas Hewitt Jones
During 2015 and 2016, we will be working with KEVICC
students, and the wider Totnes community, to make a show
about dreamers and do-ers rolling up their sleeves and
changing the world – a bit at a time.
This is not amusical about Transition Town Totnes – although
we will draw inspiration from the people and stories we find.
We want to communicate the breadth and ambition of the
broader Transition movement – to show that resistance is
fertile, a half-full glass can be rose-tinted and, crucially,
that if you reach for the stars you might just get to the pub.

Harvey has helped to contribute to this. He has been running up mountains
and trails for the Charity and inspiring his tutor group to do the same.
Issy Sadler and Teya Shepperd have been a driving force in the fundraising
and are looking for any local businesses or shops to donate prizes or gifts
to sell at auction for the Rhino Charity. If you would like to help with this or
any other events, or to make a donation, please see or email me:

future of wildlife is inextricably linked to the communities that share its
