Morris: A life with Bells On (12A)
Dates: Mon 23 November - Wed 25 November
Prices: £4.80, reductions £4.20
Venue: Studio
A heartwarming comedy about Derecq, daring leader of the Millsham Morris dance troop, and his pursuit of Morris perfection. In his Morris prime, Derecq is both a traditionalist and an innovator. He is preparing to perform the ultimate move in Morris Dance, the mystical and legendary Threeple Hammer Damson, but he is also pioneering an innovative, daringly freeform brand of "Extreme Morris", that draws the ire of the traditionalists who bans Derecq from future competition. Devastated by the decision, Derecq embarks on a global odyssey through tragedy and triumph, which gravely tests his passion for Morris'. Quintessentially British, this both mocks and celebrates the politics laden, ultra competitive side of Morris dancing to produce laughs throughout.
