Described as “a piece of theatre that makes your heart sing, makes you feel good about all of humanity, and makes you want to stand up… and fling off your clothes and dance.”, the critically acclaimed Trilogy, from Nic Green and her company, comes to Lancaster University’s Nuffield Theatre at the end of this month.
Fresh from wowing audiences in London and Edinburgh, the performance sees local women joining Nic in a large-scale naked dance ensemble celebrating the joys and complexities of womanhood.
There are a few places left to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime performance, that’s full of raw energy so please contact alice@nuffieldtheatre.com to find out more.
Also at the University this month are the Elias Quartet, hailed by The Sunday Telegraph for their ‘poetic, charismatic, virtuosic… marvellous playing’, the international reputation of the Quartet continues to roll with extraordinary momentum. The young performers demonstrate their fervent passion and infectious enthusiasm for the music of Schubert, opening the programme with his heart-rending ‘Rosamunde’ Quartet. Completed in the shadow of his fatal illness, it is unmistakably suffused with melancholy yet characterised by gorgeous melody and harmony.
The concert will also include the second movement of the sublime String Quintet – one of the top ten requests on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
