The Musical Flying Squad performs ‘Canal,’ a community musical that tells the story of the Regent’s Canal construction. This adventurous tale follows architect John Nash, James Morgan the persevering engineer, Thomas Homer who proposed the canal and absconded with the funds, William Agar who bought land on the canal route and sued for compensation, the navvies who built the canal in dangerous conditions, and the bargemen and their families who worked and lived afloat.
The cast will be from schools, choirs and community groups, led by Musical Flying Squad who produced ‘Hub Song – the World Around King’s Cross’ for the Architectural Biennale in 2006, with script, songs and direction by Rob Inglis, and musical arrangement and direction by Bob Stuckey.
At the Canal Museum. Duration approx. 1hr 20
FREE but donations gratefully accepted.
Capacity of 100 people. To reserve a place contact artsXchange@btinternet.com or call 020 7387 4942 |
