On Your Doorstep - touring show
led by Hannah Prior - Theatre Maker
Hannah is a theatre maker who specialises in inclusive practice. She looked at all the written, audio, video and visual material created by project participants, and with older collaborators: actor John Cobb, designer Sue Hall, and producer Cerin Mills, shaped the theatre piece On Your Doorstep for touring. In collaboration with MediaActive, Hannah and John also experimented with different forms of delivering performance and narrative for screen-based exhibition, and created a series of filmed vignettes, from the show.

show trailer and a few moments from the live show
The much awaited tour of On Your Doorstep, having been postponed twice due to the pandemic, finally went ahead, with post-show workshops, in Autumn 2021 across Shropshire and into Herefordshire and Birmingham, with 25 performances across 18 venues.
Audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive:
“What a revelation! A unique presentation that covered and addressed so many issues of life, relationships and getting old. Thank you, for your time remaking new memories and recalling old”
- Betjemen Lodge, Ludlow, audience member
“Just been to see On Your Doorstep at the Library. I loved it but you brought me close to tears on a Tuesday morning! There is so much in it. It is beautiful” - Whitchurch Library audience member
“Excellent show - really moving and very imaginative. Our grandchildren 10, 8 and 6 were enchanted and there will be lots to discuss with them, thank you so much” - Midlands Art Centre audience member
“The last time I attended Live theatre was over 30 years ago. Like reading a well written book, this provided some thought-provoking images in my mind” - Wem Town Hall audience member
