Fallen Bodies is an incisive comedy from Writer/Performer Oliver Turner and Director Shannon Black, telling a brand new version of the human race’s very first origin story.

In the beginning…

We all know the Biblical Creation Story. God created the world and everything in it, and it was good – perfection, in fact. Central to that image of a perfect world, is the idea that God himself has no flaw. So, what would happen if God was physically disabled?

Late one eternity, in a flat at the edge of the universe, God remembers creation. Or tries to. There are several conflicting versions. In doing so, he grapples with creating humanity as disabled. After all, we were made in his image. Did he have that right? And how does he feel about his own body?

It all comes back to bodies.

Recently selected for presentation as part of the Off Grid Festival 2025, Fallen Bodies is the first show produced by Black Tern Arts, a new collaboration between two rural-based disabled creatives that stretches from the West Midlands to the east coast of Scotland, via a small university town in mid Wales.

There are three performances for this event: July 2, 2025 8.00pm | July 3, 2025 6.00pm | July 3, 2025 8.00pm
