The Word on the Street – A New Theatre Experience in Hereford

The Courtyard has teamed up with Feral Productions for a new type of theatre performance, The Word On The Street.

In summer 2024, the first performances of The Word on the Street took place, taking audiences on a walk through the city’s beautiful streets, meeting actors along the way and hearing an exciting mix of stories from the people who live and work within them.

The Word On The Street is the perfect opportunity to see the city of Hereford in a new light. Small audiences will set off every fifteen minutes, after being given a specially designed map, detailing their route through the city. Along the way, actors will surprise and entrain the groups with performances based on local events and characters. These actors could be dressed as anything. They could be shoppers, security guards, cyclists – so the audience will have to keep their eyes peeled and stay on their toes.

The Word on the Street is back for 2025, don’t miss it!

Ant Stones, the project director, said: “I can’t wait to get started on The Word On The Street. As a Hereford lad myself, I want to celebrate our glorious landmarks and the wonderful people who walk amongst them. We’ve been lucky enough to involve several great venues and the stories that their staff have given us have been brilliant. They’re a wonderful mix of the everyday and the totally bizarre. I promise everyone who comes on this walk with us will learn something new about our great city.”
