Affinity with place is a complex web of emotion and sense of belonging. Britten’s creative engagement with place demonstrates a perceptive understanding of the culturally imagined, consumed, and produced places of the mid-twentieth century; a sharp ear for experiential gaps, psychological transitions, and marginalised identities; a sure handling of multi-point perspective – near and far, presence and recollection; togetherness and alienation; and finally an attention to flux and irresolution. This chapter explores Britten’s Suffolk, his attention to place-making in staged productions, and his metaphorical use of travel as a mentally demanding and transformative experience.
