Laurie Lee in Words & Music with Anton Lesser
Inspiration for this patchwork of words & music is provided by author Laurie Lee’s much-loved trilogy of novels: Cider With Rosie, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning and A Moment Of War.
Featuring the music of Vaughan Williams, Walton, Holst, Elgar, Britten, Grainger, Albeniz, Turina and Falla, the programme transports the audience from the lush Gloucestershire countryside of Lee’s childhood to the ‘dry landscapes of Spain’, where he fought against Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War.
Alongside music by the Orchestra Of The Swan, the production sees actors Anton Lesser and Charlie Hamblett (both pictured above) taking on the role of Lee.
