An exciting original musical The Mayor of Casterbridge (based on the Thomas Hardy novel of the same name) composed and created by local musician Mike Hatchard will be performed at Kino-Teatr on the 8th and 9th November with singer/songwriter Blair MacKichan (a Brit Award winner) joining the cast.
The book is one of Hardy's Wessex novels, and is set largely in the fictional town of Casterbridge, based on Dorchester in Dorset. The author intended Casterbridge to be an imaginative presentation of certain aspects of the town as he remembered it in the 'dream' of his childhood. The musical features the characters like Mayor Michael Henchard (baritone with some very meaty solos!), Donald Farfrae (tenor), Elizabeth Jane (soprano) and a few other characters like the Mayor’s wife Susan Henchard (soprano), sailor Richard Newson and others.
The music is in the tradition of musical theatre - West Side Story meets Gilbert and Sullivan with occasional forays into jazz!
