Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones, Endeavour, Wolf Hall and Royal & Derngate’s The Two Popes) and Charlie
Hamblett (Killing Eve, Ghosts) star in Laurie Lee’s extraordinary story told in a captivating weave of music and his own words.
Red Sky at Sunrise follows Lee through his much-loved Cider with Rosie trilogy, when he famously walked out of the Slad valley one midsummer morning, and ended up fighting with the International Brigades against Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War.
A ‘breathtaking’ musical programme by Orchestra of the Swan journeys from the lush Gloucestershire countryside made famous in Cider With Rosie, to the arid landscapes of Spain. Featuring music from Vaughan Williams, Britten, Turina and De Falla, with Northampton-born guitarist Mark Ashford.
Sold out at RSC and Oxford, this ‘triumph’ comes to Northampton for one night only.
