Subject: Review: Woody Guthrie show Edinburgh Fr 2012 From: JHW Date: 16 Aug 12 - 06:16 AM This Land: The story of Woody Guthrie - Interplay Theatre ZOO Southside. Venue 82 until Aug 20 Do see this if you're a folkie in Edinburgh or up for the Festival. Fast, busy musical story telling of the life of Woodrow Guthrie with eight musicians taking turns at being Woody as his life moves on using as much song as dialogue. Non stop show on a big stage to a great reception and how's this for a curtain call - half the cast followed the parting audience outside to the steps of the venue and carried on singing songs from the show! |
Subject: RE: Review: Woody Guthrie show Edinburgh Fr 2012 From: Owen Woodson Date: 16 Aug 12 - 06:29 AM I can't get up to Edinburgh I'm afraid. Do you know if the show is likely to be touring? What's the title BTW? Surely they'll have come up with something snappier than the Woody Guthrie Show? |
Subject: RE: Review: Woody Guthrie show Edinburgh Fr 2012 From: Owen Woodson Date: 16 Aug 12 - 06:31 AM Sorry. I just spotted it as I pressed the GO button. "This Land: The story of Woody Guthrie". |
Subject: RE: Review: Woody Guthrie show Edinburgh Fr 2012 From: JHW Date: 16 Aug 12 - 07:09 AM Here's a link to the company's web page on the show. This Land; The story of Woody Guthrie I doubt whether the show will transfer. The transience is part of the way the Fringe is |

Subject: RE: Review: Woody Guthrie show Edinburgh Fr 2012 From: folktheatre Date: 16 Aug 12 - 11:57 PM Woody would revolve in his grave if he realised how difficult it was for us to get the rights to put this blooming play on! Thanks for the great review. It's been a wonderful journey! Thanks for coming and seeing us sing Woody's songs. Yes we're folkies and use Mudcat occasionally. |
