SUMMARY:Theatre: Samson & Delilah
DESCRIPTION:Touring from Mousehole to St Mawes this September! The Killigrew’s are up to their usual devious ways in Falmouth and Queen Elizabeth is not at all happy. Sir Francis Godolphin is fighting the Spanish in Penzance and is not at all happy. Blissfully unaware and occasionally happy\, the Tudor players of Penryn are staging ‘Samson & Delilah.’ ‘Samson and Delilah’ is a fun\, historical drama set during the backdrop of the Spanish Armada. The tour travels along Cornish coastal communities – from Mousehole to Penryn – where the Cornish and Spanish finally meet. Two worlds are about to collide both on and off the stage! The tour plays at a variety of Cornish venues\, both indoor and outdoor\, giving greater relevance and meaning to our harbours\, villages\, castles\, beacons and abandoned ruins. We want to connect our communities along the Armada route! Samson & Delilah has received £47\,360 from Cornwall Council’s Community Levelling Up Programme\, part of the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund. The project has only been made possible thanks to this funding alongside funding from FEAST Cornwall and Carn to Cove. This means that Collective Arts has been able to keep ticket prices relatively low so that lots of people can come along and enjoy a good night out at the theatre. Recommended for audiences 8+

Just beautiful. Thrilling to show my daughter real theatre.”\n   ~ Audience Comment \nAtom and Luna are twins. They never break any rules and never\, ever go into the deep dark wood. But these are no ordinary twins. Trouble is\, only the birds and the moon know just how special they are… When life takes an unexpected turn all rules are turned upside down. Atom and Luna must venture into the deep\, dark wood to find Old Mother Redbeard and to save their larger-than-life visitor\, Iffly Sney. \n“This mysterious and thoughtful fable carries its watchers deep into a tangled tale of fairies\, woodsmen\, wolves and witchcraft. Lachlan Young’s script\, which mixes dramatic action with story telling is an absolute delight.”\n   ~ Arts City Liverpool ★★★★
