Have you visited the outdoor theatre on the steep cliffs of the south Cornish coast? If not here are a few of the events coming up in August that might tempt you into booking a ticket for the outdoor theatre.
The Minnack Theatre
Coram Boy – Adapted from the whitbread award winning children’s novel set in the dark heart of 18th century England, this is a tale of fathers and sons, of two cities and of two orphans at the Coram Hospital for foundling children. With dastardly villains, cold hearted aristocrats, passionate lovers and babies buried alive, it promises to be a gripping experience.
The Crucible – It’s 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts and one of the most compelling and prophetic events in history is about to unfold. Superstition, accusations of witchcraft, adultery, intrigue and revenge all combine to produce an absorbing and moving play.
Amadeus – A gripping study of the roots of envy and the haphazard nature of genius, examining the facts, half truths and rumors that surround the life and works of Mozart and Salieri. It is full of exquisite visual images and soaring snatches of Mozart’s music that combine to make this a great theatrical occasion.
The Music Man – Con man ‘Professor’ Harold Hill, poses as a boys band leader to sell band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. He meets his match in River City ‘Iowa’ when prim librarian Marian sees through him. A fun musical for the whole family!
