'The
White Rose' is based on the true story of a group
of students at Munich University in 1942 who formed
a resistance movement to Hitler's regime. It traces
the story of Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans,
and his friends as they despair of the increasingly
totalitarian lives being forced onto the German
nation. 'The White Rose' is a musical production
both intimate and epic in its portrayal of the
story and characters involved, and, though drawn
from the pages of history, it is as relevant today
as it was when it originally unfolded during the
dark days of war.

Organisation
A story
of the Industrial Revolution, brimming with tragedy,
humour and passion. Hardship and hard work were
commonplace at the beginning of the 19th Century,
but in their attempts to bring improved working
and living conditions, the characters living in
Oldham in this musical epitomise the wider struggle
that was prevalent in the large industrial towns
of England. 'Threads' has a strong storyline,
some challenging character roles and plenty of
chorus work. It's also about the early days of
Parliamentary representation and the Peterloo
massacre that brought this struggle to the attention
of the nation.
Two sets
of three operas condensed down to 7-8 minutes
