About the event
THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND
In a creative crisis and looking to fund a new album, folk artist Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden) travels to Wallis Island, Wales, to play a private gig for a huge fee – courtesy of resident millionaire Charles (Tim Key). Herb isn’t too pleased to learn that he’s not being put up in a hotel but in Charles’ own shambolic mansion. Even worse is the discovery that the gig is actually a reunion show with his former bandmate and lover, Nell Mortimer (Mulligan). As the pair rehearse, old tensions resurface and sparks fly, while the relentlessly positive Charles tries to keep the peace and his dream gig on track. Combining laughs with deep emotion, this beautifully performed ballad is pitch perfect.
