BUNTINGFORD ADULT LEARNING FOR FUN JANUARY 2018 COURSE Our January 10 week Course starts on Wednesday 23rd January 2019. Starting at 10.30am at the Community Centre, Luynes Drive, Buntingford. Subject is Tutor is the popular Stephen Barnard Joining forces in 1942 after long and successful careers working with other partners, composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein proceeded to revolutionise the stage musical with a series of shows. From Oklahoma in 1943 to The Sound of Music in 1960, they created shows which departed from the traditional lightness of operetta and musical comedy and told serious stories with finely drawn characters and character-driven songs. In this course we will look at each of their shows in turn – how they were originated and developed, the partnership’s choice of directors, choreographers and casts. We will also look at the message and meaning of Rodgers and Hammerstein shows and how they tuned in to the post-war mood of post-war America while challenging attitudes in sometimes surprising ways. We serve coffee from 10.00am. If you have any questions or would like any more information on the Course or on BALFF.
