Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 26 Mar 12 - T1699991809

Paul Heaton - The 8th

Work:: Paul Heaton (S01617507129)

Performer

Paul Heaton

Production:: The 8th (T1699991809)

The 8th is one of the longest songs ever written and was one of the hits of last year's Manchester International Festival 11. A song in eight chapters, it looks at the seven deadly sins through a series of scenes taking place in a single poverty-stricken neighbourhood, one where a new, thoroughly modern sin, The 8th is able to insinuate itself into every person's life... The performance of this electrifying musical will be followed by a set of some of Paul's Greatest Hits as he is joined by the performers of The 8th for a tune packed journey through his back catalogue featuring tunes from his Beautiful South, Housemartins and solo career. Given a theatrical narrative by award-winning playwright Che Walker (Royal Court and Young Vic) and directed by Paines Plough's joint artistic director George Perrin, The 8th features a cast of performers from across many musical genres who join Heaton for some very special shows in July.
