W H AT ’ S O N An extraordinary celebration FESTIVAL FEVER RETURNS TO LICHFIELD FROM JULY 4 TO 14, WHEN THE CITY WILL COME ALIVE WITH A CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS. FIONA FRASER SPOKE TO FESTIVAL ARTISTIC DIRECTOR DAMIAN THANTREY ABOUT HIS TOP PICKS FOR FESTIVAL SEASON Anyone who has been remotely near Lichfield in July knows that Lichfield Festival fever takes hold of the city with music, dance, theatre and art, picnics on the Cathedral lawn, street entertainment, and a chance to simply soak up the atmosphere at one of the country’s most colourful and eclectic festivals. Damian Thantrey is this year’s guest artistic director, surely not an easy task: “Like planning anything – you start with a handful of what you hope are strong ideas, put them at the centre and work your way out, while keeping a very close eye on your budget!” says Damian. “I was mindful that, as ‘caretaker’ for the year, I wanted to make sure that I gave the Festival back in at least as good condition as I received it! There are definitely some new things, but I hope I have stayed true to the Festival’s traditions.” LIZA PULMAN 2017 LICHFIELD FESTIVAL CREDIT REDLOCK PHOTOGRAPHY Picking out highlights, especially when you’re the Festival’s director is obviously tricky, says Damian, who grew up in Burton-on-Trent: “Everything on the programme is there because I would go it to myself. If you twisted my arm, I would say that the events with our six Artists in Residence will be special - I’ve worked with them all in some capacity and they are all superb and compelling performers. And in the run-up to the Festival, I was wowed by Liza Pulman (whom people will also know from Fascinating Aida) and her sensational song-fest about the legendary Barbra Streisand; also BBC Folk Singer of the Year, Kris Drever (with special guest Julie Fowlis) will close the Festival for us – an amazing musician and singersongwriter to kick back and enjoy at the end of the week. For the younger audience - and my ‘wild card’ choice for grown-ups! - I would say Hansel and Gretel which will be a dark and exciting mix of music, puppetry and story-telling, with words and poetry by the wonderful Simon Armitage. Finally, I have to mention our opening Cathedral night and a new show by Neil and Katya Jones, stars of Strictly Come Dancing, created especially for us. When else do you get to hang a metaphorical glitterball in one of the country’s most stunning buildings?” This year’s Festival, which runs from July 4 to 14, celebrates #ExtraordinaryWomen with a series of 28
