Farnham Maltings

Brilliance is a 90-minute theatrical event that celebrates progress and change in a bright new world. From the company that brought you It’s A Wonderful Life and The Iranian Feast, they now bring you Brilliance, a show with music made especially for village halls.

1963, winter. Everyone is gathering in the village hall. Daisy places her hand on the switch, presses it down, and life is never the same again.

Long after its arrival in the city, the slow process of rural electrification is starting to illuminate every corner and crevice of village life. As the dark evenings hold us in, 240 volts of alternating current and the humble electric light bulb allows us to gather and sing long into the night.

Farnham Maltings have visited Somerset village halls every year for a decade. They have a strong following and never fail to deliver a superb show for all the family.
