Back to Thirties will transport audiences through time in a thrilling aural celebration of the period. From the iconic photographs, letters and speeches of the Depression era, to the heartfelt and hopeful music of the time, with familiar music from George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart. The music is in many ways a fascinating reflection of how Americans imagined themselves during this tumultuous time of financial hardships, emerging technologies and the growing populations of cities.
“The music, the stories and the personalities of the time are so rich and colourful. Many of the songs have become recognisable standards over the years, but there are certainly a few surprises.” said Adam Mitchell, Director.
