A show for the times!
Despite the challenges of COVID, our Nordic Noir performances played to sell-out houses in December 2020.
It was a wild ride to produce our Norwegian double bill in less than three months, but we did it! And astoundingly successfully.
Our audiences laughed and gasped at the unexpected twists in Virus - a Fugue. As one Sydney Morning Herald reviewer commented: 'The play within a play works its magic." Equally popular were the beautifully-played and performed excerpts from Peer Gynt. Six performances over three nights played to packed (Covid safe) houses.
There’ll be more information in our next newsletter, so make sure you’re on our email list.
What's next?
Bach to the bush. And Sydney!
We are ready to perform our informal ‘salon’ production of J S Bach’s Coffee Cantata in Sydney and on a tour of NSW regional areas when COVID 19 restrictions are lifted.
It's an opportunity for each community to come together to enjoy a fun, social celebration after challenging times.
Norway comes Down Under
In both the Nordic Noir and Coffee Cantata programs there is a strong Norwegian theme. Both provide a musical taster of Ibsen’s play with music composed by Edvard Grieg in the run up to our upcoming major project Peer Gynt, which features fake news and a fantasy world of trolls and mythical creatures.
Upcoming productions
Ibsen and Greig will be reunited in a performance of Peer Gynt using a new adaptation by the internationally recognised Norwegian dramaturg, Dr May-Brit Akerholt.
Past productions
Endangered Productions creates inclusive musical events with voices, instruments and heart. The production team's recent collaborations with FAMS Theatre Company include The Yeomen of the Guard and The Beggars Opera.
