SebastÌan Faulks’s masterpiece Birdsong will be released online in a brand new specially made production on 1 July 2020.
About
“This is a great initiative from the Original Theatre Company and technically very ambitious. The adaptation of novel to play continues to evolve and I’m confident it has reached its best incarnation yet. Some of the best actors in its long life have signed up. Should be enormous fun.”
— Sebastian Faulks
With a star cast including Max Bowden, Stephen Boxer, Tom Kay, Madeleine Knight and Tim Treloar and narration by Sebastian Faulks himself, this uniquely made production marks a one of a kind special event to mark the 104th anniversary of The Battle of The Somme.
Told using video technology, live performance, sound design and music all woven together to create a unique portrayal of one of the greatest love stories in modern literature. Birdsong Online is directed by Alastair Whatley and Charlotte Peters and will be raising money for The Royal British Legion.
The show will be released online at 7pm on 16 July until midnight on 19 July.
Tickets £15, viewing limited to UK only.
