MESMERISING STAGE ADAPTATION OF OSCAR-WINNING CLASSIC
COMES TO THE LYCEUM THEATRE
Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning La Strada, one of the all-time masterpieces of world cinema, is brought to life in a stunning new stage adaptation at the Lyceum Theatre from Monday 22 – Saturday 27 May. Directed by Olivier Award nominee Sally Cookson, whose productions of Jane Eyre and Hetty Feather have wowed Sheffield Theatres’ audiences, the play boasts a beautiful score, performed on stage by an international cast of actor musicians.
La Strada ‘The Road’ is a deeply moving tale of love and loss. We journey into the heart of the Italian countryside where Gelsomina, full of the innocent spirit of youth, is bought by Zampano, a travelling street performer, to join his ‘strong man’ act. When the mismatched pair stumble across a ragtag circus and a daredevil tight-rope walker, Gelsomina finds herself caught between two roads, not knowing which way to turn…
Shifting between the dazzling lights of the circus and
the bare landscapes of rural Italy, this production of La Strada is as poetic as it is heartbreaking and promises a powerful and unforgettable theatrical experience.
La Strada comes to the Lyceum Theatre from Monday 22 – Saturday 27 May. Tickets can be purchased from Sheffield Theatres’ Box Office in-person, by phone on 0114 249 6000 or online at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk and are priced from £15.00.
Concessions and group discounts are available.
