Film directed by Adrian and Rachel Lambert

Fearless Librarian Saves The Day is one of two plays that form the community project The Marches. This unique collaboration brought the community of the Herefordshire village of Ewyas Harold right into the centre of the creative process behind this original Afternoon Play.

Adrian and Rachel Lambert directed the film that accompanies Fearless Librarian Saves The Day, inspired by the community of the village of Ewyas Harold. Taking the idea of the village hall fete, the film required 120ft of trestle tables and the creation of twenty carefully composed visual re-interpretations of the radio drama, complete with turf, gravel, a freshly caught salmon and mass community participation on the last day of filming!
