Based on The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Betts
Directed by: Dan Saunders
Presented by: Sedos

This award-winning musical follows a young, scarred woman who embarks on a cross-country bus journey from her farm in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, all the way to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to be healed by a minister, and discovers the true meaning of beauty along the way.

Violet is a moving musical featuring show-stopping anthems ranging from American-roots to folk to gospel. With a score from Tony-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Fun Home, Caroline, or Change), Violet is inspired by the short story The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Betts, astounding critics and audiences alike in two separate decades.

Director Dan Saunders said: "Violet is a show with great uplifting music, a diverse cast and lots of scope for play and discovery whilst rehearsing. We hope to create an environment such that the preparation for the run is equally as rewarding and exciting as the run itself.

“Our ethos is that theatre is a team sport and that when everyone works together, a show can be greater than the sum of its parts, and we can create an experience that is unique and special for cast, crew and audience alike.”

Date/Time: 25 - 29 March @ 7.30pm. Saturday matinee @ 2.30pm
