YorWorld: 12th February 2012

From Spaghetti westerns to ‘Painterly Effluvia’, YorWorld this week was packed with reviews, previews, and interviews form across York’s artistic and cultural spectrum.

On the show this week Laura Stratford speaks to Patrick Cronin, founder and ‘Storyteller’ in the ‘Spaghetti Western Orchestra’, an incredible ensemble performing the spine tingling music of Ennio Morricone who are coming to York’s ‘Grand Opera House’.

We’ve also got our indepth audio reviews of Central Hall Musical Society’s annual musical spectacular which this year was Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s ‘Into the Woods’. We’ll examine whether the performers, musicians and directors can pull off this challenging piece of  musical theatre.
Hana Teraie-Wood reviews the first ever independent Theatre Film and Television Student production, which was ‘Cloud 9’ by Caryl Churchill's which has been described as one of her best known and funniest plays. Did they pull it off?

We also review this weeks Dramasoc production of William Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’ which is running until Sunday the 12lth in the Dramabarn. Kat Ronson and Tom Bonnington tell us whether they think this is a production that will have you rolling in the isles or perhaps an updating of a play which is simply very hard for modern directors to get to grips with.

If that wasn’t enough Amelia Watts also takes a look at the student run Norman Rea gallery’s latest exhibition ‘Painterly Effluvia’ to give you a taste of what the Languith based gallery space has to offer this week.

If that wasn’t enough we also have our much acclaimed performance previews which this week looks at next weeks Dramasoc Production ‘As Thyself’ – a new student written piece – and our preview features dramatic pieces and interviews with the cast and production team to wet your appetite.

We also have exclusive recordings of the cast of ‘Into the Woods’ from CHMS’s latest production.
And that’s all available now on the ((URY PLAYER)) here.
