soundlandscape: All the Boggles of Derwentwater – An eerie site-specific outdoor audio experience with Theatre by the Lake

An audio play.

The eerie premiere of Obscura Theatre’s audio walk series soundlandscape opens at Theatre by the Lake in October 2021. The first tale in the series, All the Boggles of Derwentwater, is a free self-guided headphone experience that takes listeners outside and on a supernatural journey through the dramatic natural surroundings of Keswick. In All the Boggles of Derwentwater, a lone wanderer entertains her listener with unearthly folklore and stories old of the lake, but in doing so conjures a spectral presence that she did not mean to awaken, thus becoming part of the story herself. This first tale in Obscura Theatre’s soundlandscape is supported by Arts Council England and Theatre by the Lake. The series will eventually feature a number of interweaving audio tales combining innovative sound design with compelling storytelling, each rehearsed and recorded outdoors in site-specific locations. All will be hair-raising and spine-chilling folktale adaptations exploring local identity, the importance of stories and our relationship to the land on which we live. All the Boggles of Derwentwater is free and available to book on the Theatre by the Lake website from late September 2021.
