Stilletto Theatre was established by Bristol-based actors to put on unperformed plays by local playwrights. Stone Walls was one in a short season of ten new plays in association with The Playwrights' Company, at the King Street gallery next door to the Theatre Royal in Bristol and at Le Metro in Bath. Other plays in the season included A Change in the AdvertisedProgramme by John Wilkie, Speak No Evil by Juliet Ace and High Fidelity by John Downie.
Stone Walls was a very accomplished piece by a first-time author, a tender and evocative piece set in a Bristol Gaol in the Napoleonic wars about a triangular relationship between a French prisoner of war (played beautifully by Peter Ackerman), his jailor, and a local woman (played by the excellent Caroline Goodall).
Incidentally, I also painted the back-drop that is just visible in the photo below, a sepia view of Bristol in the Napoleonic era.
