About this event
Set in the 1960’s, Exiles is a magical, musical and spoken word Odyssey based on extraordinary tales and characters from the Cable & Wireless archive. Starting with the infamous Porthcurno car rally, the story winds its way through the country lanes of West Cornwall and out into the far-flung corners of the globe. The journey takes in the exotic locations and stories of Cable & Wireless engineers and the people they encountered.
Exiles is the fourth collaboration between musicians Bagas Degol and writer Annamaria Murphy and their first collaboration with PK Porthcurno, Museum of Global Communications.
“It’s a brilliant performance, sublime storytelling and beautiful soundscapes, deserves to be a sellout show.” – Kirsty Cotton, Hall for Cornwall
“What a beautiful evening at The Writers’ Block last night. “Exiles” with Anna Murphy and Bagas Degol is a crazy dream stitched together from stories that travelled the undersea cables to and from Porthcurno. Anna’s readings are, as always, full of affection and humour, and Rick Williams’ musical settings of the words, rendered in his very sweet voice, compliment the spoken word perfectly. David Twomlow and Alan Burton along with Rick, provide the haunting soundtrack to the whole thing. They also take part in snippets of dramatisation, often to great comic effect. I so enjoyed it, I do hope it has more dates to come.” – Audience member on Facebook
