The Theatre Royal Stratford East presents a joyous new production of Benjamin Britten’s masterpiece Noye's Fludde, directed by Lyndsey Turner that combines the talents of professional actors, singers, and musicians with those of school children and members of the local community.
A flood is coming, God is angry.
In his preperation for what is surely coming, Noah is building a boat: it is wide enough and deep enough to cater for not just his family, but for a huge cargo of birds and beasts.
When the heavy rains begin and the flood swells, this chorus of unlikely shipmates endure the mighty storm for forty days and forty nights in the hope that a new world will emerge on the other side.
Noye’s Fludde is a tale of courage, redemption and the promise of new beginnings and marks the first collaboration between Theatre Royal Stratford East and English National Opera
