In this delightful memoir, Ted Turton describes his escapades
as an artist, designer, photographer, printer, truck driver,
publicist, front-of-house salesperson, document forger and
occasional street actor for the acclaimed Footsbarn Theatre.
With its free-spirited nature and boisterous energy, Footsbarn
attracted many talented people who wanted to be part of a
travelling theatre. The romantic idea of taking theatre to the
people, be it in the city, the suburbs or rural communities,
was attractive but the reality was tough. Life on the road with
a barnstorming company of extraordinarily talented actors,
clowns, musicians and artists - plus all their children - was a
challenge. This was showbiz, circus-style, with their own tent,
trucks, buses and caravans.
My Travels with Footsbarn Theatre comprises Ted Turton's
reminiscences about travelling the world with an infuriating,
endearing and totally inspirational family of performers.
With amusing stories about various scrapes and mishaps,
descriptions of the amazing places they visited in Europe,
the USA and Australia, and entertaining tales about life in the
freewheeling 1980s, this is a heart-warming coming-of-age
story. It is also stunningly illustrated with Ted Turton's work as
an artist with the company, plus dozens of photographs he took
with his trusty Leica rangefinder camera.
