Cider With Rosie
A Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds Production
Rural Gloucestershire, England 1917. Horses pulling ploughs. Charabanc outings to Weston-super-Mare. The frozen white winters and blazing orange summers of memory.
Heroic fourteen year old giant Spadge Hopkins. Tyrannical teacher Old Crabby. The warring ancient rival Grannies Trill and Wallon. And of course that first, unforgettable, cider-fuelled encounter in the harvest fields. Laurie Lee’s story puts on record the England that we have traded for the petrol engine in an evocative prose poem that sparkles, winks and wryly smiles.
