China Plate and Inspector Sands Present

A High Street Odyssey

By Inspector Sands

The landscape is so familiar, snaking through the town centre, the bricked over thoroughfare, the brightly glowing hoardings, the bins, the bollards, the benches, the big brand names.

But what histories, what mysteries, lie behind the pedestrianised retail zone? Who was Mr Boot? And Mr Smith? Who is Claire? And when did she get so into accessories? And who is here now? Who is that woman over there? And what on earth is in her bag...?

Witty, intimate, strange and epic, A High Street Odyssey is a 30-minute promenade audio-tour of the high street that dissects the characters, reveals the secrets, considers the future and stares deep into the soul of the Great British High Street. It will never look the same again.

A 25-minute promenade audio-tour for 30 intrepid souls from award-winning company Inspector Sands.

Originally commissioned and supported by Without Walls, Greenwich + Docklands International Festival and Watford Palace Theatre.
