  • Show description

  • Join variety artiste Ada Campe and pianist Sarah Rose for the revival of a 1912 viral literary sensation – the whimsical imaginings of a three year old called Joan – set to music by her godmother Liza Lehmann, one of the most prolific and versatile female composers of the Edwardian age.

    Ada will recite, Sarah will play, and you will meet the fantastical creatures that emerge Behind the Nightlight.
