Written by Terence Rattigan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence Rattigan] and directed by Nick Vause First performed in 1942, "Flare Path" is a deeply moving portrait of people at war and was inspired by the playwrights own experiences in the RAF. The action of the play takes place over the course of a single night at the height of the Second World War. In a country house hotel, on the edge of an RAF Bomber Command airfield, three women wait anxiously for news of their husbands return from a dangerous bombing mission behind enemy lines. While the play focuses on the relationships between the three couples, at the centre of the drama is a love triangle between RAF bomber pilot Teddy, his actress wife Patricia and her ex-lover, Hollywood film star Peter Kyle. Torn between her feelings for the two very different men, Patricia finds herself at the centre of an emotional conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies. This amateur production of "Flare Path" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk [https://www.concordtheatricals.co.uk/].

All creatures great and small have frequently been a source of inspiration for composers of choral and vocal music. In this concert, you can enjoy pieces in the widest variety of styles, from the Renaissance to the present day, all with an animal theme. Youll hear how different composers view the same creature - Thomas Vautors Suffolk Owl contrasting with Elgars eerie setting, and the bee as envisaged by John Wilbye, Frank Bridge right up to a recently premiered work by Cecilia McDowall. The Nightingale is heard in the Vienna of Alban Berg but also in Berkeley Square. Orlando Gibbons Silver Swan is paired with an Italian swan. You can expect the widest variety of styles and moods, from the tranquil beauty of John Taveners The Lamb and Eric Whitacres Seal Lullaby , to the humour of Frederick Bridges The Goslings and Philip Colls Animal Songs . We are joined by John Winter as our pianist, and are led by our musical director David Lardi.
