SILVERY MOON PRODUCTIONS …
SILVERY MOON PRODUCTIONS brings to life the spirited Victorian and
Edwardian eras - from the rumbustious world of Music Hall to the refinement of
the drawing room soiree. Costumed entertainment from a company of five
professional artistes – singers, actors, writers and musicians – can be
tailor-made to suit any occasion, audience, venue or time-slot. With songs, monologues and melodramas the artistes,
directed by Lynn
Radnedge, recreate the opposing lifestyles of Fin de Siecle England. In the past 18 months, the Company has staged a season
at the Wheatsheaf W1, three sell-out shows at Hoxton Hall, one of the original
Victorian music halls, Christmas Shows at Covent Garden Market and St Albans
plus Jubilee Specials in London and the Midlands as well as country house and
garden party entertainment. Illustrated with a wealth of amusing anecdotes from
chairman and Music Hall historian Mike Francis, the shows are choreographed by
Lynn, who completed her full-time training as an actor after raising her
children. <
Here is a brief description of just a few of the shows that have been performed:
DELIGHTFUL, DELICIOUS, DE-LOVELY…
memories and melodies from the Decadence and Depression eras with 40 well known song.
The 90 minute show swings from the frivolity of the Twenties to the austerity of the Thirties. Reminisce with our bright young things Putting on the Ritz and dancing the Black Bottom while declaring that Anything Goes.
Penniless after the Wall Street Crash they keep cheerful on the Sunny Side of the Street -- reflecting that Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries, so better Pick Yourself Up and Forget Your Troubles and Just Get Happy.
