Theatre review: High Tide Festival, Halesworth
The Suffolk town of Halesworth might look idyllic but don't be fooled, there's darkness lurking behind the half-timbered facades. This year's High Tide festival of new writing tackles everything from heroin addiction to Hillsborough, bullying to black actors in "blackface". You couldn't accuse it of being twee, although you might wish for a bit of light relief. Small-scale doesn't have to equal issues-driven.
