A charity aiming to rehabilitate prisoners through performing arts is putting on a performance of Guys and Dolls this 22 and 23 May at Dartmoor Prison.
HMP Dartmoor is the setting for The Prison Choir Project’s (PCP) latest performance of Guys and Dolls. Take back your mink! Tanya Shields makes her Dartmoor debut in the all American classic as the long-suffering Miss Adelaide. She is joined by Matthew Harvey as Sky Masterson and Lottie Clitherow as the straight-laced Salvation Army sergeant, Sarah Brown.
A sizzling New York tale of gamblers, gangsters and nightclub singers featuring some of Broadway’s greatest show stopping tunes, including Luck Be a Lady, Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat and My Time of Day. With tip-top choreography by Sara Hamilton, and direction from the Royal Opera House's Joe Austin, this is one feel good show you won’t want to miss. A superb professional cast will join 15 enthusiastic inmates in what promises to be a tremendous production for all involved.
As long-standing supporters of the arts, the Earl and Countess of Devon are passionate about how the PCP can offer rehabilitation to prisoners, exoffenders and people suffering with mental illness. The Earl of Devon, Charles Courtenay, patron of the PCP charity commented: “Over recent years, the PCP has consistently delivered remarkable experiences and performances in the most gruelling of circumstances. Bringing live music and song to HM Prisons is not an easy task, and the PCP has had a lasting impact on audiences, participants, staff and the prison communities it serves. We are pleased to support the work of the PCP, and are much looking forward to Guys and Dolls at HMP Dartmoor.”
The Countess of Devon, AJ Courtenay, has also been assisting the cast with performance coaching and Voice and Movement work.
