Description
Louie Hooper's mind overflows with songs - more than 300 passed down from her mother. In 1903, Somerset, Cecil Sharp sets out to transcribe each and every one, believing they should speak for England as a whole. Sharp sees the potential in Louie's music, which has been rooted in the land where she lives all her life. He hopes to preserve these songs before they are lost forever. Nell Leyshon's play with songs was originally heard on BBC Radio and later performed at London's Hampstead Theatre, where it received a sold-out run. The production was revived in June 2022 due to popular demand, showcasing the enduring power of Louie's music.
