ODYSSEY

WORDS AND MUSIC OF FINDING HOME

Christopher Kent and Gamal Khamis return with the sequel to “Never Such Innocence”, their acclaimed narrative recital of words and music from the First World War (described by BBC Radio 3 as “incredibly moving”).

ODYSSEY tells the story of the aftermath of war, with the legend of Odysseus’s epic journey home from Troy to Ithaca interwoven with themes of journey, diaspora and migration explored through words and music, including specially commissioned works by six award-winning contemporary poets and composers. Their work is set alongside Homer’s original words in Emily Wilson’s acclaimed new translation, as well as works by Shakespeare, Bach, Debussy, and Clara Schumann to create another absorbing, moving and richly rewarding evening.

Performers: Christopher Kent and Gamal Khamis

Poets: Vahni Capildeo, Yousif M Qasmiyeh, JL Williams

Composers: Amy Bryce, Daniel Kidane, George Stevenson

Dramaturg: Terry O’Connor Consultant: Tony Palmer

Bright Sparks Panto is proud to present

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – at Christmas.

Join us this December as we bring our latest Fabulous Family Panto to the stage in the historic Jubilee Hall.

In a retelling of the classic fairy-tale, a beautiful and kind-hearted young girl is forced out of her home on her 18th birthday by her wicked and jealous step-mother, the Evil Queen, after she finds out from her Magic Mirror that she is no longer the fairest of them all. The Queen orders her henchman to take her into the woods and ‘do what needs to be done’. Booooooo!

Is Snow White’s fate sealed? Will the Henchman be able to do the deed? Or will she find safety?

Travel with Snow White and all her friends on their journey from the Palace through the deep dark wood to the curious cottage, and on down the ‘mazing mine. And don’t forget to stop off at the Tavern for a spot of Christmas Karaoke on the way.

There’ll be Christmassy carousing, yuletide yelling and festive frolics a-plenty.

Bright Sparks Panto is renowned for our professional standard, big budget amateur pantomimes, with humorous scripts, colourful sets and lavish costumes. With an age range from 8 to 80 (years young) the group rehearses tirelessly to ensure a highly polished show.

The Bright Sparks Family Panto is back – it’ll be like we’ve never been away!
