Tudor-themed musical with a modern twist coming to the stage at Eyemouth High School
Eyemouth is about to bring a ‘histo-remix’ to audiences in Berwickshire with their production of ‘Six: Teen Edition’.
Eyemouth Variety Group in collaboration with Eyemouth High School are taking on their most challenging production to date with Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s musical, where the six wives of Henry VII step out of his shadow to form a fierce girl group.
This show started off as a student project for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017 and it has gone on to be seen by over 3.5million people worldwide boasting 26 major awards.
The songs take inspiration from the female icons such as Beyoncé and Ariana Grande as each Queen has her moment in the spotlight to prove her worth.
However, whilst the characters are from 500 years ago, the message is very current – ditch the rivalry in favour of female solidarity!
With a super talented young cast – they will literally blow your socks off – and a live band, this is set to be one showstopper of a night!
“Six” is open to everyone and takes place at Eyemouth High School on Thursday and Friday evening of June 18-19 at 7.30pm, with a matinee performance on the Friday afternoon at 2.30pm. Doors will open at 6.30pm where a licensed bar will be in operation for the evening performances only.
Tickets are available from Occasions Florists for £12. Students are able to purchase tickets at the school office for a discounted price of £6.
So, get ready to clap, whoop and boogie along (yes, this is one show where “whooping” is encouraged!) and perhaps enjoy a little history lesson along the way!
