Daniel Kitson - The Ballad of Rodger and Grace

This is an epic love story. A tale of towering courage, of hearts aching, swollen and broken, of battles, won and lost, both romantic and land based. And of train travel. And flapjacks.

This show is the rather lovely result of a collaboration with the wonderful musician, Gavin Osborn. It was written during one intensive week for a rather magical show in an open air theatre in London, where 1200 people sat in the setting sun, listening, grinning, giggling, sometimes crying and occasionally noticing butterflies. It was then performed twice in a wooden tent in Edinburgh around midnight, where all the same things happened, except for the butterflies. There were moths instead.

A genuinely beautiful show, with a story to make you laugh and songs to make you cry.
