When Rowena Cade wanted to create a theatre for local am-dram groups to stage ‘The Tempest’, she and Billy Rawlings set about moving endless lumps of granite and earth at the end of her garden on the South West Coast Path in the west Cornwall to create a strange and a bank of amphitheatre-style terraces.
