Recycling at heart of performance

Everything donated will be recycled once the show is finished

A Devon theatre company is hoping to stage a production using only recycled items for the props, set and costumes.

The Plymouth Summer Festival show, One Small Step... One Giant Leap, is taking place at the Royal William Yard from 24 July to 1 August.

So Strange Youngens and Plymouth Youth Dance Company are appealing for unwanted wetsuits, briefcases, business suits and old mobile phones.

Once the show has finished all the materials used will be recycled again.

Alexandra Harris, one of the performers, said: "We want this performance to open people's minds and think about the imprint they are making on the world."

Anyone who can donate to the show is asked to contact the Barbican Theatre.
