Organic farm battle told in play

The story of brother and sister who saved their father's organic farm in Shropshire will be told in a play.

Charlotte and Ben Hollins had to raise £800,000 to save Fordhall Farm in Market Drayton two years ago.

The farm, one of the first organic ones in the country, was saved by members of the public buying shares in a charity which leases the land to the pair.

Arthur's Plough, a play about their father, has been updated with their story and will be staged this summer.

Through Arts Council Funding, the play's author Chris Eldon Lee has revised the musical play, which was first performed in 1991.

It will be shown at the farm for two weeks in June and early July before being shown in Shrewsbury.
