The Masque to Host Valentine's Soiree Next Month

The Masque will present the perfect way to celebrate the ones you love this Valentine's Day.

Join the team for 'A Lifetime of Love' on 14 and 16 February, which promises to be a magical evening, guiding audiences through the beautiful journey of love with a musical twist.

The talented performers will transform the stage into a love-struck dance floor, where romance meets rhythm. Masque audiences can look forward to four of the Sleeping Beauty cast taking the stage once again – Claire de Lune, Kim Mortimer, Rufaro Mvududu and Matthew Esbach. Joining them is Lynley Meavers (last year's Valentine's Soiree) and Timothy Wolfaardt (Interlace Live).

“To steal from Shakespeare's famous quote, if live performance and music be the food of love, then let's play on! ” says Faeron Wheeler, programming manager of The Masque.   “Our Valentine's Soiree will be a special evening to share with loved ones, and our full February line-up is something more to love!”

 

The February line-up is:

 

Love Letters by A R Gurney

1 and 2 February at 20h00; 3 February at 14h30 and 19h30

Love Letters by A R Gurney is a beautiful play which is at the same time nostalgic, funny and moving.

The play was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and has been performed on Broadway and on the West End among other cities with an array of brilliant actors playing Andy and Melissa.

The text of the play is wonderfully written by Gurney. It is an actor's dream to delve into the text and keep the audience thoroughly engaged.

The timing of this production is spot on as February is the month of love with Valentine's Day on 14 February. The company comprises seasoned actors David Muller and Suzi Gehr with direction by Celia Musikanth. Sit back and let the beautiful words of Love Letters wash over you.

Sincere thanks to Circle Productions.
