The Killigrew’s are up to their usual devious ways in Falmouth and Queen Elizabeth is not at all happy. Sir Francis Godolphin is fighting the Spanish in Penzance and is not at all happy. Blissfully unaware and occasionally happy, the Tudor players of Penryn are staging ‘Samson & Delilah.’
‘Samson and Delilah’ is a fun, historical drama set during the backdrop of the Spanish Armada. The tour travels along Cornish coastal communities – from Mousehole to Penryn – where the Cornish and Spanish finally meet. Two worlds are about to collide both on and off the stage!
The tour plays at a variety of Cornish venues, both indoor and outdoor, giving greater relevance and meaning to our harbours, villages, castles, beacons and abandoned ruins. We want to connect our communities along the Armada route.
Samson & Delilah has received £47,360 from Cornwall Council's Community Levelling Up Programme, part of the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund. The project has only been made possible thanks to this funding alongside funding from FEAST Cornwall and Carn to Cove. This means that Collective Arts has been able to keep ticket prices relatively low so that lots of people can come along and enjoy a good night out at the theatre.
