New musical WITH COURAGE celebrating RNLI’s 200th anniversary heads to The Other Palace

New British musical With Courage will tour the UK, culminating in a run in the Studio at London’s The Other Palace from 1-6 October.

Written by Jon Hare and presented by PlayWell Productions, With Courage’s premiere in Penzance coincides with the 200th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

The show is directed by the award-winning Charlotte Westenra, and brings together lifesaving stories from across two centuries: Witnesses to a tragedy in 1886, Charles and Marion Macara unite to support a town in grief, inspiring a nationwide movement. Current day navigator, Shannon, grapples with her place amongst her family's long legacy of life-saving; when disaster looms, she and her coxswain father Eddie must race against time to save a life. In two hundred years, the same question remains - how far will you go to save a stranger?

The musical has its world premiere at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall on 5 & 6 September, before visiting Penlee Park, Plymouth, Exeter, Poole, Portsmouth, Lowestoft, and Hastings prior to its London run.
