Devon will receive £3.192 million in the next financial year, which the DfT calculates is enough to repair 60,200 potholes.
After two sold-out shows, Untold Theatre returns to Cygnet Theatre.
The year is 1867 and, aboard the SS Cuba, Charles Dickens set sail for his final tour of America. During his journey, the renowned author becomes plagued with guilt-ridden visions and visitors from the spirit world. Figures from his life appear alongside characters from his stories. These spirits return to guide (and taunt) him. As reality blurs into fiction, the author is compelled to revisit the sins of his past. But this is no tale of redemption....
