Bread and Starlight
In this one-woman show for Advent, Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, recalls the months of her pregnancy and a very special visitor. Touching on the themes of mystery and miracle, what is temporary and what lasts, Bread and Starlight combines storytelling, song and space for reflection in the lead up to Christmas.
“A mesmerising performance that had me captivated for an hour… so clever, poignant, beautiful and funny.”
Listen
Listen to A waiting world, which received a 5-star award in the UK songwriting contest 2020. Elizabeth reflects on the meaning of all that has happened to her and around her.
