Award winning comedy musicians bring their new show to Meole Brace

Thursday, 18 August 2022 18:16

Arts Alive have secured a brand-new show for Meole Brace Peace Memorial, which turns everything you know about string quartets on its head.

Bowjangles is an irreverent, anarchic group of genre spanners, bringing music, theatre and comedy together in a way you have never seen before. This string quartet dance and move around the stage while playing their instruments, interweaving music, physical theatre, storytelling and comedy in to unforgettable performances.

Their brand-new show for 2022, ‘Dracula in Space’, blasts the intrepid foursome off into outer space to meet a mysterious benefactor whose proposition seems a little too good to be true. The award winning, internationally acclaimed quartet warn that their new sci-fi horror musical comedy may contain scenes of graphic violins.

Reviews:

★★★★★ ‘Completely original… the music would be entertaining enough without all the other incredible action and comedy going on’

Broadway Baby

★★★★ ‘Full of zest, action and charisma… unfailingly entertaining’

Steve Bennett, Chortle

★★★★★ ‘With the dancing, singing and fast pace it is easy to forget that they are playing all the music, all the time, without missing a beat’

Wiltshire Gazette and Herald

Dracula in Space comes to Meole Brace Peace Memorial Hall on 1^st October, at 7:30pm. The show is suitable for ages 8+. Tickets can be purchased at www.artsalive.co.uk.
