Rogue Theatre WInter Show in Tehidy Woods

A cold, wild and blustery night made Rogue Theatre's Winter Woods Tehidy Woods show all the more atmospheric with fire dancers, woodland faeries and the sweetheart tree offering a magical night time pre-amble to the main show. The woods hospitable in a primeval way of offering shelter....... In the stately pleasuredome in the woods (a tent decked out with gorgeous tapestry) The King of the Woods tells a labyrinthine adventure of twins caught up a journey fraught with fantastical gods and animalia ..... now a traditional Cornish entertainment for kids and adults......of finery, wonder, glitter, dance and make-believe.....a memorable Christmas Party for the Creative Skills and Cultivator Carn to Cove Feast Cornwall Krowji team ....and a bargain, with hot chocolate thrown in.

Shahnemeh by Adverse Camber at Perranporth Memorial Hall

Brodsky Quartet at opening concert of Music on the Moor 9th July 2025

  A full house at the opening concert  of a new festival on Bodmin Moor - this event hosted at Lavethan House by Blisland Village.   The programme was entitled "Inner Music" because one senses the works chosen invite consideration of biography and reflection.  The Brodsky's gave a subtle performance of Haydn's Quartet in C op 54 no 2 followed by the Bedrich Smetana "From my Life" quartet  no 1 in E minor which is full of middel-European panache, chutzpah and character and variety but also tragedy.   With Krysia Osostowicz's introduction outlining the shape of Smetana's own biography: early fame, joy in dancing and living in a hugely admiring public life and then debilitating tinnitus followed by confinement and seclusion for his mental health.  The work full of joy and fun and dance portrays a diverting character but strident tones brings all to a profound silence and abrupt cut off.   The final work was the late Beethoven quartet i...
