Fours Company presented an evening with a difference in this satirical work, written by the great Noel Coward. It featured music by Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter and, even, The Beatles. Proceeds from this well-attended performance were donated to the Ian Ritchie Foundation, which supports young people in the performing arts. The company, which included two ladies and two gentlemen, was obviously "of a certain age", however this did not detract from the fact that they were very talented singers and performers. As a throwback from the 1960s era of mods and rockers, I am constantly amazed to hear the lyrics of Lennon and McCartney performed in semi-classical fashion. And they said it would never last! Rock on! I am still desperately seeking maturity - I feel that perhaps I should give up hope. Certainly, performances like this open up a totally new spectrum of entertainment to me. Friends from way back when find it difficult to believe that I watch - and enjoy - relatively high-brow entertainment such A Talent to Amuse. |
