About The Event

BAR: In marquee from 7:00PM

EVENT DIRECTOR: Richard Williams

Devised and written by Lucy Hawking, journalist and science educator, and directed by Richard Williams. A witty narrator, a wonderful pianist and a brilliant singer join forces to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the first moon landing in 1969.

Lucy’s entertaining and fast-moving narrative takes us from Pythagoras and The Music of the Spheres to Stephen Hawking and The Brief History of Time, and along the way includes surprising incidents, astonishing dramas and revelations from people involved in the moon landing. Using international contacts, Lucy pinpoints some extraordinary moments in scientific history and brings us up to date with recent space explorations, and events on The International Space Station.

The show incorporates song, film, historic artefacts, some recently revealed secrets from NASA - and depending on conditions at the time we might, possibly, even be able to hook up with the crew on the ISS!

The mystery and allure of the moon, the stars and planets have, of course, been the subject of much music and countless songs, which will naturally include Fly Me the Moon - made famous by Sinatra - David Bowie’s Space Oddity (aka Major Tom), Blue Moon and Moon River as well as many other lunar and space related songs!
