SYNOPSIS
This charming ‘play with songs’, inspired by real life events, contrasts the urban sophistication of Cecil Sharp, the renowned collector of folk songs, with the simple lives of two sisters he meets in Somerset in 1903. The younger sister, illiterate Louie, has something Sharp wants – she has over 300 folk songs in her head learnt from her recently deceased mother. Sharp wants to take these songs and integrate them into his music and indeed publishes them uncredited, but for Louie they are a constantly evolving part of the land that she grew up in and cannot be captured and frozen in time. A wonderful play about the power of music, rural identity and grief.

Folk was first produced as a BBC radio play and then at the Hampstead theatre where it gathered an Olivier award nomination.

This is an amateur production.
