CHEQUER MEAD THEATRE

If you liked Burning to Vote, that played to sell out performances at Chequer Mead in 2007, you'll love this Musical History Company's 50 strong fully staged production of Castles in Spain! Through wonderfully melodic songs, stirring narrative, this entertaining and inspiring show for all ages, brings history to life in 2009, the 150th Anniversary of Brunel's death. Brunel called his engineering projects his "Chateaux d'Espagne" - Castles in Spain. The show recounts the life and achievements of this amazing man and his unique projetcs that included the Clifton Bridge, the Great Western Railway, his three great steamships and what happened when he swallowed a golden half sovereign!
