Overview

Riders to the Sea – OperaUpClose in association with MAST Mayflower Studios present

 

Seating for this show will be on Blackpool Grand’s Stage. All seating is unreserved.

 

A man haunted by the ghosts of his past, finds himself drawn back to his family home and the memory of a great loss.

 

Partnered with a new dramatic prologue, The Last Bit of the Moon, Riders to the Sea tells the story of a family, Maurya, Bartley, Kathleen and Nora and a seemingly inevitable chain of events.

 

Combining projection, recorded sound and live performance this is musical storytelling at its most visceral.

 

Riders to the Sea by Ralph Vaughan Williams and JM Synge in a new orchestration by Michael Betteridge. With a new dramatic prologue, The Last Bit of the Moon, composed by Michael Betteridge, and written by ArtfulScribe’s Community Sirens Collective led by Antosh Wojcik.

 

References to trauma and grief. The show is captioned throughout, as part of the production design.
