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!
