Join Rajni Shah and company as we launch our new production, Glorious - a musical extravaganza that changes as it tours to ten locations over the next two years. This is a chance to have a drink, see glimpses of early film, sound and costume ideas, and meet the company before we begin touring to Bristol, Nottingham, London, Newcastle and beyond... Anyone's welcome!
I want to explore the sense of not knowing that pervades Europe today – both the fear and the space for hope that has emerged as a result of our increased awareness of climate change, shifts in border policies, and the dramatic impact of the financial collapse. I cannot think of a more appropriate or interesting form for this than the musical – a form that immediately communicates with a vast number of people, including myself, but that is often used to represent some kind of utopia or dystopia. At a time when many people feel disempowered and frustrated, can we make a musical that positively embraces the unknown and the unknowable? Rajni Shah
