The performance on May 9th

The performance on May 9th featured Tom Arnold and his band as well as the aforementioned string quartet, opera singers Hannah Pedley and Jai Ramage and as for the actors, the Almeida was proud to welcome Richard Briers The Good Life, Paul McGann Withnail & I and Lisa Dillon Bright Young Things, Cranford.It was a highly unusual experience, with the venue providing a cosy and intimate setting for a provocative re-imagining of Shakespeare’s themes through rock music and spoken word. If all this sounds rather serious and deeply intellectually boring, well, it was not! Au contraire, it was an entertaining and stimulating production that had words interwoven with the songs, sometimes spoken over music, sometimes over silence and sometimes with the lyrics.The opening piece, Citrinitas, is based on an alchemical term used in the 16th Century, it stood for the dawning of the solar light’ inherent in one’s being. Fourteen pieces in total were performed, amongst them Flights Of Angels inspired by Sir Ian McKellen’s letter on Shakespeare and the afterlife, Hurly Burly with text from Macbeth’, Act 1, Scene 1, Head And Hearts inspired by Janet Suzman’s letter on Disguise as a means to uncovering the truth’, Sonnet 116, Sonnet 155, Star Crossed inspired by Romeo and Juliet’ as well as The Falls Of A Sparrow inspired by Sir Derek Jacobi’s letter including a passage from Hamlet’.The album Sonnet 155 is a rockclassical crossover of eleven songs written and performed by Tim Arnold, which also re-interprets classical pieces of music by Mozart, Rimsky Korsakov and a co-write with composer Michael Nyman – all driven by Shakespearean themes For those who missed out on the live performance in the Almeida, it is a worthy substitute To paraphrase Shakespeare You should live twice – in it and in my rhyme.
