May 2010 - Sonnet 155



In May 2010 at the Almieda Theatre, London, Tim Arnold released his new album ‘Sonnet 155’  in a theatrical experience combining musicians and actors. two ladies from Eden Voices performed the backing vocals for the World Premier run of this launch.
Cast included: 
Tim Arnold, Richard Briers, Lisa Dillon, Paul McGann, Janet Suzman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hattie Morahan




In early 2007 singer, songwriter Tim Arnold wrote over 30 individual letters to Shakespearean actors Derek Jacobi, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Richard Briers & Janet Suzman, asking ‘What theme in Shakespeare best described the human condition?’ Replies to his letters poured in and with the gentle help of those who have devoted their lives to working on and in Shakespeare's plays, Arnold formed the basis of what would become the album, Sonnet 155. The result is one man's personal navigation through these themes.
“Timeless sounds for our time...”
Michael Attenborough, Artistic Director, Almeida Theatre.
