Events – Hell
Fire Corner The first play ever written by Redruth-born novelist and poet D M Thomas tells a tale, never told before, of bal maidens, a world famous rugby player and tin miners, their loves, losses and laughter. In Hell Fire Corner, Thomas has created a rich montage, layered with textures and facets of Cornish life. Tin mining, mass emigration, Methodist preaching are all overlaid with the pride of Cornish rugby. Hell Fire Corner, a Mundic Nation and Hall for Cornwall Production, will be staged at The Hall for Cornwall from Thursday 29 April to Saturday 8 May at 7.30pm.

Lifestyle – Trewithen
Gardens Beauty is more than skin deep – especially when it comes to plants, says the owner of one of the county’s most historic and exotic gardens. Michael Galsworthy feels there is more to enjoy than the dramatic hues and shades of Spring of Trewithen Garden near Grampound, Truro. Cornwall’s Vice Lord Lieutenant is also keen to encourage visitors to explore the form and shape of the plants in his garden. Over the last few years he has introduced one of his personal passions – sculpture – and plans more in the future. Trewithen Gardens and Nurseries, Grampound Road, near Truro. Telephone 01726 883647 or see www.trewithengardens.co.uk Also this issue: A refit for the St Michael’s Hotel, Falmouth.
