Kings Witches, Lovers and Souls: A Compass of Cumbrian Legends
A New Opera by Jen Hartley
30th & 31st August 2024, Penrith Playhouse
'Kings, Witches, Lovers and Souls is a piece about Cumbria, showcasing the region’s mythic past, performed mostly by Cumbrians, and watched by a local Cumbrian audience. So there was a palpable sense of celebration and of pride that their place and their people were taking centre stage in a piece about their place.'

'Jen Hartley’s score was rich, elastic and electric; Jonny Danciger’s stage direction smooth, [...] The singing was bold and brave, and the lyrics skilfully whittled'
