About

Featuring Actors Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones, Andor, Wolf Hall, Endeavour) and Charlie Hamblett (Neflix's Missing You, Killing Eve, Ghosts, The Burning Girls), Red Sky at Sunrise follows Laurie Lee through his much-loved trilogy, Cider with Rosie, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, and A Moment of War, when Lee famously walked out of the Slad valley and ended up fighting with the International Brigades against Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War. The Swan's artistic Director David Le Page has devised a gorgeous musical programme that weaves around Lee's writing, from the lush Gloucestershire countryside Lee made famous in Cider With Rosie, to the dry landscapes of Spain, via the music of Vaughan Williams, Walton, Holst, Elgar, Britten, Grainger, Albéniz, Turina and De Falla. Featuring guitarist Mark Ashford performing Asturias, Sevilla and Spanish Romance.
