The Beggars Opera

Crammed with familiar folk tunes such as Lillibulero and Over the Hills and Far Away, this classic comic opera is a fresh and satirical today as when it was first performed nearly 300 years ago. Featuring local performers and musicians, with some of the music especially arranged by Dr Phil Wood and performed by the Papcastle Wind Quintet, this is truly a production by and for the community.

The Beggar’s Oppera is presented by La’al Beggars, a new collaboration between Trellis Arts ( Jeff and Sarah Wallcook), Kirkgate Arts and Bob Pritchard, for the Georgian Fair.
