COWARD AT SEA

BRISTOL 1904 ARTS is delighted and thrilled to have our extraordinary Bristol 1904 Arts Club member, Michael Lunts, perform his well received one-man musical nautical comedy.

Come aboard the SS Madeira for this nautical musical comedy featuring, for the first time on stage, Noël Coward's 'P&O 1930', his magical evocation of the historic P&O route home to Britain from the Far East, when a voyage took weeks rather than hours and the passengers got up to all sorts of antics en route.

Actor, pianist and singer Michael Lunts brings to life this wonderfully eccentric cast of Coward characters and includes many of The Master's best-loved songs, from 'Matelot' to 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen', from 'Nina' to 'Marvellous Party' and, of course, 'Sail Away'!

• "Deliciously witty ... a quintessentially English flavour superbly captured by this gifted performer."
  Newbury Weekly News, Newbury Festival Review
• "A charming and innovative piece ... Michael Lunts has captured the quality of Coward, performing his many roles, while playing the piano and singing, completely in character."
  Edinburgh Evening News, Edinburgh Festival Review
• "A rare gem evoking the genuine spirit of Coward."
  Michael Coveney, The Daily Mail
