The Guildford School of Acting and the University of Surrey join forces to present a unique take on popular song. Six new arrangements showcase the next generation of singers and composers whilst the second half of the evening is an opportunity to catch the world première of a mini-musical about the cruise of a lifetime - literally! In Catching the Sun, 80-year old Em decides to take up permanent residence on the QE2 much to the annoyance of her niece, Sarah, who has been anticipating a substantial inheritance. Sarah pays her aunt a surprise visit only to find she has disappeared. Age, eccentricity and family ties are all explored in this new 40 minute, virtuoso one-woman show.
