Shift Key Theatre planned the concept for the visitor engagement and then, working from client supplied research material, prepared the learning plan and wrote the scripts to tell the stories of three real people who are memorialised in the Minster.

These three people were brought back to life in a piece of promenade theatre around the minster, visiting their respective monuments and memorials for an NLHF project to increase  awareness of the memorials and ledger stones inside the Minster.
