THE TIN VIOLIN - THEATRE Written by Alan M Kent Directed by John Hoggarth
Wed 6th June @ 7.30pm
Based on the life of violinist and composer Joseph Emidy, this story is one of the most extraordinary of modern times.. In the play, Boy Josh finds himself embarking on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. His epic adventure demands a resistance against the most savage of oppression before he finds freedom and love in music and song. On the way he meets mad sailors, gabbling Cornish fools, crazy fishermen and a woman who softly plays the strings of his heart. Funny, tragic and compelling, the play offers an extraordinary parable of humanity that raises questions about identity, belonging and place, and also turns upside- down preconceived ideas about West Britain and the continent of Africa.
SUMMER BALLET – FILM FROM ROH – GISELLE Thurs 21st June @ 7.30pm
Giselle is one of the most influential of all Romantic ballets, and one of the greatest and most popular works of the dance canon and of The Royal Ballet’s repertory. The title role presents the transcendental power of a woman’s love in the face of betrayal and is one of the most technically demanding and emotionally challenging roles in classical dance. Peter Wright’s sensitive staging in the atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane heightens the contrast as the story moves between the human and supernatural worlds. Starring Marianela Nuñez and Rupert Pennefather. •Recorded at Royal Opera House in 2011•104 minutes
