Into The Melting Pot

Spain, 1492. At twilight on her final night in Seville, a Jewish woman lights the lamps. She is
being forced to leave Spain and set sail for an uncertain future. Her story echoes down the
ages to the personal stories of people affected by politics and war today. She tunes into voices
of a community of Jewish, Christian and Muslim women from across the Spanish peninsula.
Women’s stories of integration, love, racial intolerance and their rich cultural heritage are
played out to a soundtrack of plaintive Sephardic songs and lively medieval music.
Music and theatre collide in this fully staged show with stunning lighting from The Telling,
award-winning writer Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated director Nicholas Renton (Mrs
Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters, Lewis, Musketeers). Be transported back to 15th century
Seville!
