Dorset’s touring arts charity, Artsreach, is delighted to welcome musicians Bob Whitley and Lee MacKenzie back to village halls across the county this spring with a brand-new show, building on the success of their previous tour with the folk-musical Magellan Circumnavigation.
In Wolf at the Door, Bob Whitley (guitar, tenor guitar and mandola) and Lee MacKenzie (baroque cello) take us back to the 16th Century and the story of the triumph and tragedy of Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn holds King Henry VIII in thrall for six years and supplants Katherine of Aragon as Queen of England on the promise that she will bear King Henry a son and royal heir. In a Tudor court of scheming courtiers, religious fervour and feuding families all are fighting for the King’s favour in a deadly battle of destinies and dynasties.
“We were bowled over by the supreme musicianship of Bob and Lee, their glorious singing, and perfect harmonies. A momentous evening. An unforgettable experience.”
