We are delighted to invite you to a unique experience combining feast and drama, of the kind that Winterbourne might once have hosted. In medieval England, short plays often accompanied celebratory feasts. The Life of Job is one of these plays: an English poem from the fifteenth century, telling the biblical story of a good and prosperous man struck by a series of shocking calamities. It will feature God, Satan, and an angry wife, along with medieval music, dance and spectacular acrobatic stunts. Doors open at 7pm. The ticket price includes the performance, a meal of pie and mash (gluten free and vegan options available), and a soft or alcoholic drink. The bar will be open throughout the evening for an after-show drink in the Barn or outside, weather permitting. Bring your partner or a group of friends to experience this communal entertainment together! Recommended for 18+ but all welcome. The performance is being staged as part of a University of Bristol project on poems that retold biblical stories in medieval England. It will be the first public performance of The Life of Job in modern times. We are keen to find out what you think about it, and will invite you to fill in a short questionnaire after the performance as part of our research. Please note that the performance will be recorded and filmed in full for research purposes, and that all ticketholders consent to this by booking their ticket. If you have any questions about the research or filming, please email Dr Cathy Hume, the lead researcher: [email protected]. Developed in an expert collaboration between director Elisabeth Dutton, circus director Gwen Hales and musicians Kira Thomas and William Summers.
