Into The Melting Pot

A collision of music and theatre by Clare Norburn. Spain 1492.
At twilight on her final night in Seville, a Jewish woman, played
by Suzanne Ahmet, lights the lamps. She is being forced to
leave Spain and set sail for an uncertain future. She tunes into
voices of a community of Jewish, Christian and Muslim women
from across the Spanish peninsula.

Down the centuries, women’s stories of integration, love, the
rich cultural heritage of the Spanish peninsula and racial
intolerance are played out to a soundtrack of plaintive
Sephardic songs and lively medieval music performed by The
Telling, with full staging and stunning lighting. Be transported
back to 15th century Seville!

Music and theatre collide in this fully
staged show from The Telling with actor Suzanne Ahmet (National Theatre Live) and BAFTA-nominated
director Nicholas Renton.
