“First performed at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham to commemorate the centenary of Capt Scott's ill fated mission to the South Pole, this play charts the life of Edward Wilson, explorer and naturalist on Scott's journeys to the Antarctic. Wilson encounters a mysterious figure as he and his fellow explorers face the end of their journey at the Pole. Cheltenham born Edward Wilson, the naturalist, was also a caring and religious man and the play explores all facets of his character, not only as an enthusiastic man of science and exploration but also a brave one who died at the South Pole.”

“House and Land is the duo of Sally Anne Morgan (fiddle, shruti box, banjo, vocals) and Sarah Louise Henson (vocals, 12-string guitar, shruti box, bouzouki). Sally and Sarah started playing together after Sarah opened for The Black Twig Pickers for whom Sally plays the fiddle. The duo quickly discovered that they were both interested in the same very specific forms of traditional music. Additionally, they both viewed it through the lens of their shared love of modern, experimental and minimal music. “We honor what two voices and bodies can do in one moment in time. It totally shapes our sound.””

“A traditional society, dressed in white, hidden from the modern world, high in the mountains. A tribe of people whose world is formed around a belief system called "Aluna” - something akin to a kind of cosmic consciousness. These people have a powerful message for the world. It seems like a fiction but today's two documentaries describe these people's stories and spread the message they want to tell.”
