Time Out says Rate it

In his new play for everyone aged from ten writer Carl Miller places the fall of Granada in 1491 under youth's uncompromising gaze.There are three young people at its heart, one Muslim, one Jew and one Christian, caught up in the bloody events leading to their city's capitulation, but unblemished by the religious bigotry around them. Gilded youth at the dawn of the Golden Age, they sing romantic ballads, recite poetry and are excited by physics and astronomy. You wouldn't think they'd have it in them to fascinate the Playstation generation, but their story reverberates across the centuries. And the production benefits greatly from Tunde Jegede's outstanding music for kora, cello, harp and aka riti, which he plays, alongside the gifted Maya Jobarteh, on stage, continuously, to bewitching effect. Age 10+.
