Facets of Time - Award Winning Tenor Daniel Thomson and Sam Brown "Eric Clapton of the Lute"

Award winning tenor Daniel Thomson and Sam Brown, “the Eric Clapton of the lute”, present Facets of Time, a dramatic performance based around Elizabethen England’s most iconic artists, William Shakespeare and John Dowland. Time was for the renaissance a central fascination: this performance sees Old Time evoked in songs of love and stoicism, nightmarishly scrambled by Macbeth, and vanquished by Elizabeth I.
