Latest News The Highwayman Passionate, electrifying, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes tells a tragic tale of doomed love, betrayal and the ultimate sacrifice. Set to the dramatic, evocative music of Dorset composer Helen Porter and featuring stunning live shadow animation by the internationally renowned puppet theatre practitioner, Joe Gladwin, this staged concert is performed by seven professional singers ranging from soaring soprano to low bass, with a chamber ensemble of some of the country's finest musicians. “Alfred Noyes’ classic narrative The Highwayman puts the singers to one side and a three-screen shadow play centre stage, animated by Joe Gladwin and Sarah Stretton, where Bess, the landlord's daughter, lays down her life in exquisite silhouette for the love of the highwayman.” - The Stage 9th October 2006. For further information and for all booking enquiries please contact Helen Porter at Counterparts Music Theatre Arts on Tel: 01747 821757 or Email: helen@counterparts.org.uk. |
