Threads (Principals
: 5m, 3f, Support : 5m, 1f) |
| A story of the Industrial Revolution, brimming
with tragedy, humor 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. |

Witchfinder
(Principals : 5m, 3f, Support : 5m, 1f) |
| Winner : Best
Book & Lyrics, GMDF Festival 2009 (together
with four other prizes) |
| 17th Century Lancashire telling the story of two
young lovers from different classes, backgrounds
and worlds thrust together in a melting pot of politics
and suspicion. The King, his court and his henchman
(the Witchfinder), each with a different vested
interest, take up against the innocent Catholic
residents of Pendle who they suspect are witches.
A powerful story with dominant characters and soaring
themes, the musical traces the heart-rending events
and their consequences, painting a picture that
encompasses life and of loss, but equally tells
of love and of hope. |
