53two in Manchester and Imaginality Productions bring new musical Realms Of Glory to the city for Christmas.
It's Christmas 1940 and the Blitz has come to Manchester. Realms of Glory tells the story of lively locals trying to navigate their broken world. Lizzie Horton’s on a whistle-stop tour of her life, the formative years, a whirlwind romance with RAF pilot husband Bob and pals Mavis, Jim and Ida.
Emma Clare Harvey and Alex Cosgriff (associate artists for Imaginality) play Lizzie and Bob, alongside Rebecca McAuley as Mavis Snow, Ben Kawalec as Jim Snow / others and Ella Heywood as Ida Barnes. The show is directed by co-creator Ollie Mills, with musical direction from Joe Clayton.
Realms of Glory will run from December 14–22.
