Townsend Productions: The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
Monday 13 Feb 2012 7:30pm
Stephen Lowe’s reworking of the socialist tale, about a group of painters and decorators and their struggle for survival in a complacent and stagnating Edwardian England.
A classic of working class literature since its publication in 1914, with sharply-focussed themes that are eternally relevant and consistently thought-provoking.
As entertaining as ever, the spirit and clarity of the tale is delivered using instrumentation, songs of the period, movement, physicalisation and comedy. Suitable for age 12+
