Spain, 1492. At twilight on her final night in Seville, a Jewish woman, played by Suzanne Ahmet (Creating Carmen (TheTelling), Generation Z (Channel 4), Ludwig (BBC)), lights the lamps. She is being forced to leave Spain and set sail for an uncertain future. Her story echoes the personal stories of people affected by politics and war today. She tunes into the voices of a community of Christian, Muslim and Jewish women from across the Spanish peninsula. Down the centuries, women’s stories of integration, love, the rich cultural heritage of the Spanish peninsula and racial intolerance are played out to a soundtrack of plaintive Sephardic songs and lively medieval music performed live by acclaimed musicians of The Telling. Be transported back to 15th-century Seville! OSO Arts Centre, London DD/MM/YYYY

“Last night’s performance was so utterly moving - a human story brought to life… a collaborative wondrous experience that touched every part of my being.”
Audience member (2022)

A concertplay (where music and theatre collide) written by award-winning writer Clare Norburn and directed by BAFTA-nominated director Nicholas Renton.

Spain, 1492. At twilight on her final night in Seville, a Jewish woman, played by Suzanne Ahmet (Creating Carmen (TheTelling), Generation Z (Channel 4), Ludwig (BBC)), lights the lamps. She is being forced to leave Spain and set sail for an uncertain future. Her story echoes the personal stories of people affected by politics and war today. She tunes into the voices of a community of Christian, Muslim and Jewish women from across the Spanish peninsula.

Down the centuries, women’s stories of integration, love, the rich cultural heritage of the Spanish peninsula and racial intolerance are played out to a soundtrack of plaintive Sephardic songs and lively medieval music performed live by acclaimed musicians of The Telling. Be transported back to 15th-century Seville!
