Little Bulb's Orpheus announces tour

Little Bulb Theatre's acclaimed production of Orpheus will tour later this year following its runs at Battersea Arts Centre in 2013 and 2014.

The show will visi the Royal Opera House Linbury Studio Theatre as part of the 2015 Deloitte Ignite Festival (15-19 September), Bristol Old Vic (23-26 September), Nuffield Southampton (29 September-3 October), Liverpool Everyman (20-24 October) and Birmingham Repertory Theatre (28-31 October).

Orpheus is a musical re-imagining of the epic Greek myth inspired by the music of legendary jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt.

According to press material: "Music has played an integral part in all of Little Bulb's past productions but Orpheus puts it right at its heart: it is entirely sung-through in a veritable musical feast including original compositions alongside Bach, Monteverdi, Edith Piaf and Debussy."

Orpheus is directed by Alexander Scott, with design by Mary Drummond, puppets by Max Humphries and sound design by Ed Clarke.

It's performed by Clare Beresford, Dominic Conway, Miriam Gould, Eugénie Pastor, Charlie Penn, Tom Penn, Alexander Scott and Shamira Turner.
