To celebrate this imaginative piece of public art, made by Blewbury’s own David Harber, the BPC are calling on the artists and writers of the village to take one or more of the words on the sphere, or the artwork itself, and write a poem, take an artistic photo, or produce another artwork -sketch etc.

20th and 21st February 2026
The Blewbury Players are supporting a ‘radio play’ performance of the Dice House in the village hall. The Dice House, by Paul Lucas, is an irreverent black comedy inspired by Luke Rhinehart’s cult book The Dice Man which explores the nature and limitations of free will. What happens if we make all decisions based on the whim of a dice? The performances in February will be rehearsed readings so the cast will be reading from scripts by their microphones in the style of a radio play. Whilst this won’t be a full production, there will be an opportunity to get involved in other aspects of theatre; sound, lights, production, stage management, front of house, costume if people want to. If you want to be involved in any way please contact Matt Phillips or Andy Jarvis at matt.warren.phillips@gmail.com.
