2013 Ludlow Arts Festival gets underway
The 2013 Ludlow Arts Festival this afternoon gor underway with a fantastic line-up of stars, unmissable shows and guilty pleasures.
The brand-new Big Top Theatre will house a range of events including hilarious sets from comedy giants Reginald D Hunder, and Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, from London’s West End The Reduced Shakespeare Company in their wildly popular The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) and The Circus of Horrors, the show that has rocked Britain’s Got Talent, with dare devil and bizarre circus acts from all four corners of the world.
The award-winning cabaret comedy Fascinating Aida takes to the stage and there is a lunchtime recital from the world-renowned pianist Young-choon Park. For younger audiences, there are four performances of The Gruffalo’s Child which will be heading to Ludlow straight from a hugely-successful run in the West End.
Musical headliners staged in the stunning outer bailey of Ludlow Castle include celebrated showmen 10CC, bebop superstar Jools Holland who will be joined by his blues orchestra, two of Britain’s most loved and most enduring pop groups The Hollies and The Searchers and a spectacular recreation of The Last Night of the Proms presented by Gyles Brandreth, and featuring The English National Philharmonic Orchestra.
