Bernstein & Busoni

Leonard Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti exposes the cracks in 1950s suburbia – a ‘perfect marriage’ lost in silence and longing. Sharp, stylish, and unmistakably Bernstein, it is a bold take on the American dream and an extraordinary experience. Peter Coleman-Wright and Cheryl Barker portray the husband-and-wife duo, Sam and Dinah. They bring a lifetime of performance experience, both on stage and in the recording studio, and their chemistry and artistry are a perfect match for Trouble in Tahiti.

Ferruccio Busoni’s Arlecchino is a whirlwind of love, lies, and laugh-out-loud deception! In this sharp satire set in 18th-century Italy, Harlequin fakes a war to hide an affair – sparking disguises, drama, and pure comic mayhem. Playing the titular role of Arlecchino, Andy Leonard is known for his work on stage, screen and music theatre, including Keating the Musical.
