PRIOR to a West End Season, a stunning new stage adaptation of Federico Fellino's Oscar-winning masterpiece La Strada, arrives at The Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham and we have got five pairs of tickets available for readers for the opening night on Monday, March 6.
Presented by Kenny Wax Ltd in association with Cambridge Arts Theatre, Bristol Old Vic and The Belgrade Theatre Coventry, La Strada is directed by Olivier Award nominee Sally Cookson (Jane Eyre & Peter Pan National Theatre, Hetty Feather West End).
It boasts a beautiful new score by Benji Bower with songs performed by an international cast of actor musicians.
La Strada ‘The Road’, a metaphor for life, is a deeply impassioned tale of love and loss. We journey into the heart of the Italian countryside where Gelsomina, full of the innocent spirit of youth, is bought by Zampano, a travelling street performer, to join his ‘strong man’ act.
When the mismatched pair stumble across a ragtag circus and a daredevil tight-rope walker, Gelsomina finds herself caught between the two men, not knowing which way to turn.
This production moves between the dazzling lights of the circus and the bare landscapes of rural Italy and promises to be a theatrical feast for all the senses.
