Herstoric – The Year Without a Summer/A Mother’s War: Two New Hour-Long Musicals

Herstoric is an evening of brand new musical theatre, giving several important women the place they deserve in the history books. Focussing on two historical topics – the Romantics of the 1800s (‘The Year Without A Summer’) and the medieval Wars of the Roses (‘A Mother’s War’) – Herstoric aims to portray the lives of those whose stories are not always told; the women, wives and lovers often abandoned in the name of art, hedonism, war and power. Complete with distinctive, contemporary scores, this promises to be an enjoyable evening for musical theatre fans and historians alike.
