Medway Megaliths

Located in the lower valley of the Medway River, the Medway Megaliths are a series of ancient stone monuments shrouded in mystery and folklore. No one really knows what they are for or who put them there. That is, until now...

​Medway Megaliths is a new 5-part sci-fi drama utilising AR filters and 3D audio, created with young artists. It is a SparkedEcho project commissioned by Theatre31. This is an exciting partnership between the two organisations!

About Theatre31

​Theatre for young people, by young people.

Theatre31 is an exciting new programme, inspiring young people to be involved in theatre and putting them directly in the driving seat. Taking place across Medway and Sheppey, this youth led programme supports young people make decisions and call the shots on everything that happens – from deciding which artists to work with to designing the logo.

All the activities are free to access and there are many opportunities for young people to get involved!
Theatre31 is managed by Icon Theatre, based at the Brook Theatre in Chatham, who have been co-creating original performances with communities and young people since 2002. Funded by Arts Council England, Theatre31 is a project supported by Medway Council.
