Enter the Afterlands .... The Visionary Epic from Kevan Manwaring
Song of the Windsmith - the show!
Spoken word, song, stunning visuals and soaring music come together in a ground-breaking Lit'n'Roll show.
Isambard Kerne, an Edwardian aviator is transported into another world - a
land of shadows, monsters and wonders - where he is tested to his limit. With
the help of a mysterious feathered guide, Merlin, Kerne must embark upon the
Way of the Windsmith - mastering the Four Winds - if he is to find his way
home and help defeat the deadliest of enemies - Aveldra, the ultimate femme
fatale - in a battle between the lost of history for the fate of worlds.
'Surprising and refreshing - something I would like to see more of... I loved the music and how it underscored your powerful storytelling. The visual images too added another dimension.' Kim Kenny, Theatre Gloucestershire
Song of the Windsmith is based upon the five-volume fantasy series by
Stroud-based author, Kevan Manwaring. It has been created in collaboration with Bristol-based musician James Hollingsworth. Images are provided by Cornwall-based artist Jonathan Hayter.

The Lit'n'Roll show based upon The Windsmith Elegy - Song of the Windsmith - was launched at the Castle of the Muse, Argyle, Scotland, on 22nd September. James Hollingsworth & Kevan Manwaring, co-founders of The Steampunk Theatre Company, took the high road to the wilds of Scotland to perform a special preview of the show to a select audience of international guests. The response was overwhelmingly favourable. Here's a review by Lilian Helen Brzoska
These guys are BRILLIANT Bardic Performers. James Hollingsworth is on the guitar, a wizard of flying fingers and glorious tones. He also sings spectacularly well. Kevan Manwaring's " Song of the Windsmith" is a perfect winged chariot for them both to fly, lifting through many spheres and dropping to the Earth's Core with adept aplomb and engaged Heart energy. Kevan is a beautiful Being with great acting talent and a wisdom far deeper and wider than his youthful surface might predict, should you be hooked on looks. They are both beautiful to behold and deeply moving as they perform this mythic treat and mystical performance power-sharing to awaken the soul of each listener, each seer, each brother and sister Bard. If you get a chance to experience a performance of " The Windsmith " grab the tickets with both hands and take along your whole family. Your will all hear a very fine story told with Light, Love and Honesty. Teenage sons and daughters, will find older brothers with whom to explore the inner reaches of the Human Condition with warmth, political awareness and Eco-Centric Wisdom.
NEXT DATE: 2ND DECEMBER TOTNES. More dates to be announced. The tour starts here!
