FACADE - An Entertainment
Location
About
Façade is a series of poems by Edith Sitwell, recited over an instrumental accompaniment written by William Walton.
Two actors - Seven musicians - One hour of nonsense.
Featuring Miranda Selwood and Danika Saal, Façade is one of those pieces that excites musicians and entertains audiences.
"If I were allowed just one work of Walton's to save from the proverbial flood, it would undoubtedly be Façade, for whatever the perhaps more obvious merits of some of the large-scale works, it is here that his naughty, witty, ironic, and even his romantic characteristics are most unselfconsciously caught."
