Livingston Players latest show is a Rush!

Apr 30 2009 by Debbie Spalding, West Lothian Courier

THE Livingston Players are delighted to be back in the newly re-opened Howden Park Centre for their next production, Rush!

The powerful new musical, receiving its Scottish premier in Howden, tells the moving story of immigrant gold miners and their quest for instant fortune in the savage and unforgiving environment of the New Zealand gold fields in the 1860s.

Rush! has been described as a breathless adventure story with undercurrents of love, lust and greed.

The gold rush in New Zealand may not be quite as well known as the Californian gold rush, but exactly the same dreams, desperation and desires happened there as in California.

With a cast of 40, including two teams of five children performing on alternate nights, the show runs from Tuesday, May 19 to Saturday, May 23 at 7.30pm in the Brian Duguid Auditorium.

Tickets costing £10 are now available from the Box Office on 01506 777666.
