Woody Sez - The Life And Music Of Woody Guthrie

The tumultuous, tragic, touching and joyful tale of “America’s greatest folk poet,” told in his own words, and featuring Bound for Glory, Pastures of Plenty, The Ballad of Tom Joad, This Land is Your Land, and two-dozen more of Woody Guthrie’s indelible protest songs, is brought to vivid life by the award-winning original London cast: David M. Lutken, Ruth Clarke-Irons, Eleanor Brunsdon and William Wolfe Hogan, along with director Dean Elliott.

The show is a celebration of one of the giants of American music. A joyful, uplifting narrative about a difficult man’s difficult life during difficult times, Woody Sez is a tale of struggle, activism, patriotism and commitment. Guthrie’s songs have become ambassadors of the best of the American spirit.

Introduced at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007, Woody Sez has played Glasgow, Belfast, Munich, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and the West End. The 2013-14 season includes the Cleveland Playhouse, Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and Syracuse Stage, followed by visits to New Zealand and China.
