![Red Sky at Sunrise: Laurie Lee in Words & Music with Anton Lesser](https://cdn2.stayhappening.com/thumbs/thumb666ac51600a17.jpg)
Two of our best-loved actors Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones Wolf Hall Endeavour) and Charlie Hamblett (Killing Eve Ghosts The Burning Girls) play the role of Laurie Lee older and younger along with a rich array of other characters. Together they celebrate Lee’s engaging humour as well as his darker side in a performance that has startling resonance with modern events.
Devised as a show by Judy Reaves the text by Laurie Lee has been adapted by Deirdre Shields. The Swan’s artistic Director David Le Page has devised a gorgeous musical programme that weaves around Lee’s writing from the lush Gloucestershire countryside Lee made famous in Cider With Rosie to the dry landscapes of Spain via the music of Vaughan Williams Walton Holst Elgar Britten Grainger Albéniz Turina and De Falla. Featuring guitarist Mark Ashford performing Asturias Sevilla and Spanish Romance.
