"The Last Cuckoo"
Sea View Productions is proud to present “THE LAST CUCKOO” by BAFTA nominee NIGEL FORDE, former presenter of Radio 4’s ‘Bookshelf’.
In “THE LAST CUCKOO” we encounter characters and imagery that draw the audience into an unforgettable experience of literary and theatrical expression of the highest order.
“Beautifully comic …. I cried with laughter” – Simon Mayo, Radio 5
The characterisations are exquisite and the vivid language of the text simply breathtaking.
“An enchanting show” – Sally Magnusson.
Andrew Harrison’s astonishing performance moves and stirs the hardest hearts and provokes laughter, intrigue and enjoyment for all.
“The audience were unanimous in their praise. This is a wonderfully intimate piece…. Will have wide appeal to anyone who cares about the countryside, birds and the future.” – David Popple (former) Director Stamford Arts Centre.
But this play is not only a panegyric to the wonder of the natural world but also challenges the threat to a way of life that is fast disappearing. Beneath the glittering surface is a disturbing pulse that grows ever more insistent.
The revival of this enchanting, delightful and riveting piece of theatre follows the highly-acclaimed tour last year of “THE LEGACY OF JOHN MUIR” by Caithness writer MURRAY WATTS.
A major theatre producer is now developing plans for an extended UK Studio Theatre tour in autumn 2009.
