Benefit Performance of STITCH, Saturday May 29 2010 @ 7pm
On behalf of The Theatre Centre, we would like to invite you to a very special performance of STITCH – an a cappella opera by maverick composer-librettist duo Juliet Palmer and Anna Chatterton. Ruth Madoc-Jones directs the sublime and wild voices of Christine Duncan, Patricia O’Callaghan and Neema Bickersteth.
STITCH premiered in 2008 as part of The Theatre Centre’s Free Fall festival and having wowed the critics and received 2 Dora Award nominations, we are delighted to be presenting it once again.
‘An extraordinary melding of lyric singing, sung speech, and the whir of the sewing machines… new, different and stimulating’ Michael Crabb, CBC Radio
