Woody Sez Tours to Buxton & Salford, 4 Feb
Woody Sez – the show celebrating folk music legend Woody Guthrie, is embarking on a UK tour later this month and arrives at the Lowry and Buxton Opera House in February.
The show, which weaves together Guthrie’s songs with excerpts from articles he wrote for leftist newspaper The People’s World, was created by Broadway veteran David Lutken, who also stars.
It
was first seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2007, returning two
years later and transferring to the Arts Theatre in 2011.
Considered
the godfather of American folk music, Guthrie’s best-known songs
include “This Land is Your Land” and “Bound for Glory”, and he provided
inspiration for the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen
and Van Morrison.
Woody Sez, which is produced by UK Arts International, will visit
the Buxton
Opera House (4 February), and The Lowry,
Salford (7-9 February).
