CMC: Ode to Joyce

Cheryl and Paul Knight bring their award winning tribute to Joyce Grenfell to Canterbury. First conceived in honour of her centenary year and playing to sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh Festival, this revue has been delighting audiences ever since. In this gem of nostalgia, which recreates the setting of one of Joyce Grenfell’s stage shows, Cheryl Knight ‘absolutely captures her spirit’ (Everything Theatre). Woven between the well-known songs and monologues are some of her more delicate and poignant pieces, as well as some rare and exclusive material. Truly a labour of love, this show brings back to life an extraordinary entertainer. Paul Knight writes “‘Ode to Joyce’… has been on the road for over 11 years. As both director and now pianist..… I know Cheryl’s performance is as authentic and true to life as you get. Yes, it’s nostalgic, but the topics are as relevant today as they ever were…”
