Helston Old Chapel

EVENT POSTPONED

by Bagas Degol & Anna Maria Murphy

An international Odyssey told through song, music and stories.

Set in the 1960’s, this is a magical, musical and spoken word Odyssey based on extraordinary tales and characters from the Cable & Wireless archive based at PK Porthcurno.

Starting with the infamous Porthcurno car rally, the story winds its way through the country lanes of West Cornwall and out into the far-flung corners of the globe.

The journey takes in the exotic locations and stories of Cable & Wireless engineers and the people they encountered.

From Penwith in the far west of Cornwall, Bagas Degol means simply 'feast day band' - music for celebration, ritual and dance. Since 2001 Bagas Degol have been wowing audiences with their distinctive and stirring sound, delivered with a powerful raw edge.

Anna Maria Murphy is a writer known for her work with Kneehigh Theatre, where she penned productions including Red Shoes and Tristan and Yseult. She has written for various theatre companies and Little Angel Theatre, led Kneehigh's Rambles program, and previously directed The Writer's Block. Her extensive radio work for BBC Radio 4 includes plays such as Curious Under the Stars and The Severn Serpent.
