World premiere of A Bigger Show a work the composer veteran jazz leader Mike Westbrook describes as a “Jazz Rock Oratorio”. Kate Westbrook’s scenario uses the image of the fairground to examine, with irony, humour and high drama, the lot of Humankind in the age of the World-Wide-Web. 3 vocalists-actors are accompanied by 22 musicians drawn by Mike Westbrook from classical, jazz, pop and rock backgrounds into the “Uncommon Orchestra” to create a enthralling new musical work.
