SONG FOR YOU
Presented by
ARTZ PRODUCTIONS
Inspired by the real life stories of the members of the Staffordshire All Woman Choir, the musical written by Rachel Millar and Liz Talbot captures the essence of the story of everyday folk dealing with life’s challenges.
Stirring performances from a fabulous cast. Very funny script, proving the power of laughter to help even in the darkest of situations.
Peeling back the public veneers of people and looking inside, there's a world of fears, anxieties abuses, physical and mental trauma the likes of which cannot be truly comprehended or imagine until you've faced them, walked in their shoes.
Our words are truly mightier than the sword, the pain and hurt we can, be it unwittingly at times, unleash with our tongues is frightening. Think on that for a moment before you comment, chastise or bully.
This poignant, funny and oh so witty musical has all of these incites in spades, covering the ladies stories in a series of very well written, at times quite harrowing themes and beautifully sung songs.
As comforting as an old favourite sitcom, set to music. The sheer power of camaraderie through shared experiences to Find Their Voice. Most of all hope. Hope for the future, hope for you, your family, friends colleagues.
Well done everyone – Superb.
