Tim Dalling performs The Unhappy King at Adforton Community Hall

By Caroline King - October 4, 2011Posted in : Music

Tim Dalling The Unhappy King When: 28th October 2011 at 7.30pm

Where: Adforton Community Hall, Near Ludlow, Shropshire SY7 0NF

£: Adults 7 and children 4

What is it?

Sometimes the accordionist clown from The New Rope String Band is let out on his own. Dare you join him for a romp through his imagination?  Not only will you voyage into the hilarious world of miserable kings, tortured jesters and the search for the happiest man alive, but you shall be tickled pink by his funky music and soaring songs. In the first half, Tim performs The Unhappy King, a one-man show using masks, puppetry, shadows and music.  In the second half, with his exuberant accordion and comic tendencies, he will woo you with his own songs and those created from poems by Louis MacNeice, Sean O’Brien and Julia Darling.
