Quadrophenia on The Royal Mile
The cast of Quadrophenia took to the Royal Mile on Tuesday to promote the show which runs at the Festival Theatre until Saturday. Liam Rudden writes in his Must See Theatre for June about the show: 'In 1973, Townshend wrote Quadrophenia. Recorded by The Who, proved an iconic and multi-million selling album, defining a generation and inspiring the 1979 cult film of the same name starring everyone from Phil Daniels to Lesley Ash, Ray Winstone to Trevor Laird, Sting to Adam Ant and not forgetting Toyah and Gary Shail. If that cast seemed like an incendiary mix at the time, now Sadler's Wells, with Townshend, have reimagined it as an explosive dance production. 'A large cast of exceptional dancers will introduce new audiences to troubled mod Jimmy's story, while remaining true in spirit to the much-loved original. Steeped in the mythology of the 1960s – sharp suits, soul music, vespas and parkas – Quadrophenia's themes of lost youth, rebellion, search for belonging and hunger for social change are just as urgent today. 'Scored with an orchestral version of the album by Rachel Fuller, choreographed by Paul Roberts and directed by Rob Ashford, Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet promises to bring a whole new dimension to one of the UK's most iconic rock albums. 'Running time 2 hours including interval.
