Valley Song in NY

[Iain Fisher]

The Black Theatre Troupe of Upstate New York present Valley Song from 15- 24 November 2024.  It is at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY.

The Director is Jean-Remy Monnay.

"This is the moving story of an old man’s love for his dutiful grandchild. Buks’ Jonkers is a poor yet dignified war veteran who is devoted to his vegetable furrows in a remote South African province. He is anxious to shield his dreamy, restless sixteen year old granddaughter from temptations beyond the valley. She is equally anxious to be a singer in faraway Johannesburg. Her self made songs brim with the longings of youth.  Valley Song is a coming-of-age story about a young girl seeking the courage to embrace the future while her grandfather searches for the wisdom to let go of the past".
