To mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible: Bradford Cathedral commissioned a new work from Saltaire writer. Nigel Schofield. Featuring traditional and original songs (with music by Helen Hockenhull), “1611: The Word – In the Beginning” explores the circumstances around the creation of the Bible. The world in which the King James Bible came into being was one of daring exploration, theatrical innovation, political intrigue, terrorism, superstition and scandal. All of the above feature in the lively narrative which takes in, among other things, Shakespeare’s final years, the settlement of America, the birth of the British whaling industry, the Gunpowder Plot, the death of Henry Hudson and the work of scandal monger John Aubrey. The production has a specially assembled cast of twenty players. In addition to original songs, it also features music by Bob Dylan. Sandy Denny, Handel, Leonard Cohen and Monteverdi. “1611” will be performed at the Parish church of Saint Alkelda at 7pm on Saturday 12th November and tickets cost £5, available from 01729 823537.
