Review of the second night of the festival

Last night we enjoyed the first of our Full Length Plays, Lilies on the Land by Lion’s Part performed by White Cobra.

We went from English tea in the garden on Saturday to full blown life on the farm.
I hope they didn’t use Victoria Station’s cab company to get to Sussex or maybe it was the Driver who dumped their cases in the mud? This was a beautiful series of scenes in the lives of the Land Army Girls presenting the fun, fear and hopes of these famous but often forgotten young girls.

We laughed at the detailed description of the hardships of no flush toilets, the sh*** of the farmyards and the creation of new life on the farm. We moved to the music in the Saturday Night dances, felt sadness for the fleeting relationships with the nearby aircrew. Lovely singing and those boxes moved deftly like a 3D game of Tetris.

Thank you White Cobra for an entertaining and
thought provoking evening.

Tonight White Cobra presents The Father by Florian Zeller.

Seen through the eyes of a man with dementia,
The Father exposes the emotional toll it has on him and his family. Moving and at times heart-breaking, Andre’s story will be recognised by all too many families. Blistering honest but ultimately uplifting, it’s a story of our times.
Recently an Oscar and BAFTA winning film starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman,
this production includes the founders and stalwarts of White Cobra and original music by Martin Heath.

NB. The subject matter of this play could be upsetting
