June 30, 1998 - "Beryl Markham - Flying West With the Night".
This is McIntosh's 55-minute music theatre piece that she performed
in 12 of the 14 locations on her tour to New York, the maritime provinces
and Ontario last October. This dramatic work tells the true story of the
pioneer English pilot who was the first woman to get a bush-pilot's
license in Africa, and became the first person to fly the Atlantic
solo east to west, from England, in 1936, crash-landing in Cape Breton.
She survived the crash and wrote her fascinating book, "West With the Night",
from which McIntosh selected text for the work. This theatrical work reflects
the unique combination of lyricism and wit in Markham's writing.
McIntosh's piece, in which she assumes Markham's persona,
is essentially story-telling - Markham's decsciption of her childhood in Kenya,
how she learned to fly, harrowing flights, and her trans-Atlantic flight.
Accompanying the text, and sometimes replacing the text, is McIntosh's original
music for piano and tape, based on an authentic African folk tune.
It's a very accessible show, suitable for any audience.
"Contemporary music is not often so engaging, entertaining and delightful".
McIntosh will be
in Britain for the month of June
and will be available for performances at other venues.
