Laurie Lee’s extraordinary story, told in a captivating weave of music and his own words...


Red Sky at Sunrise follows Lee through his much-loved Cider with Rosie trilogy, when he famously walked out of the Slad valley one midsummer morning, and ended up fighting with the International Brigades against Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War.


Anton Lesser (Game of Thrones, Wolf Hall, Endeavour) and Charlie Hamblett (Killing Eve, Ghosts, The Burning Girls) play the role of Laurie Lee older and younger, along with a rich array of other characters. Together, they celebrate Lee’s engaging humour, as well as his darker side, in a performance that has startling resonance with modern events.


A ‘breathtaking’ musical programme by Orchestra of the Swan weaves around Lee’s writing, from the lush Gloucestershire countryside made famous in Cider With Rosie, to the arid landscapes of Spain. Featuring music from Vaughan Williams, Britten, Turina and De Falla, with guitarist Mark
Ashford performing Albéniz and Spanish Romance.

  
Following sell-out ★★★★★ performances at RSC, Malvern and Oxford, this ‘triumph’ comes to Malmesbury Abbey for one night only.
