Be transported back to Seville, 1492. At twilight on her final night in Seville, a Jewish woman, played by Suzanne Ahmet, lights the lamps. She is 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.
An incredible concert play written by award-winning writer Clare Norburn and directed by BAFTA-nominated director Nicholas Renton.
