Beachy Head, Seven Sisters Country Park, East Sussex, 14 March 2017
----------
In the week Theresa May triggered Article 50, the start of the two-year negotiation period to take Britain out of the EU, ramblers explore the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. For many, the Seven Sisters between the Seaford and Eastbourne coastline are symbolic of Britain; they were recently voted one of the top twenty breath-taking views in the UK. As Stephen Purcell, who teaches English and Comparative Literary Studies at the University of Warwick, comments, โThe cliffs are used in the play to symbolize a boundary, one between the known and the unknown. Thatโs what the cliffs represent to many, a boundary between land and sea, high and low, between Britain and the outside.โ In June 2017, two massive rock falls took place in less than twenty-four hours along the chalk cliffs, sending tons of rock crashing into the sea, and outlining the fragility of this landscape.
