There will be live entertainment on the waterways this coming weekend when the Widgeon Theater Boat brings its Grit of Life production to the Coventry Canal Basin this weekend.
The 83-year-old ship tours the amazing musical that tells the story from different angles – both past and present.
The performances of the show will take place next Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The narrator weaves a story through story and music, and in addition to tapping music, the production also features rewritten songs by Rory Mcleod and even a quiz.
The show is written and directed by John Knowles, produced by Widgeon’s own MJ Morgan, and features a rising cast including Maisy Beth Crunden, Kristin Duffy, Hannah Harris, Patrick McHugh, then King Slim Size.
Grit of Life, performed as part of the Coventry City of Culture Year, takes viewers on a colorful and informative journey through the waterways from different perspectives and characters.
