Play about Somerset sisters who saved folk songs
'Folk' tells the story of Louie Hooper, Lucy White and their encounters with the composer and song collector Cecil Sharp.
The sisters from Westport, near Ilminster, taught him dozens of traditional songs.
Writer Nell Leyshon, who grew up in Glastonbury, talks to Claire Carter about her play, which was first performed at the Hampstead Theatre.
