Songs of Friendship: A Storytelling Cycle: Oberon Modern Playwrights

JAMES ROWLAND'S STORYTELLING TRILOGY

Over three years Songs of Friendship was assembled at VAULT Festival.

Team Viking charts the course of his lifelong friendship with Sarah and Tom, and what happened when Tom was diagnosed with incurable heart cancer.

In A Hundred Different Words for Love Sarah gets engaged at the same time as James meets someone he really likes.

Revelations is James's account of being around for Sarah and her partner Emma as they take the huge step of becoming parents (and the small matter of his donating sperm for the baby).

The stories are about growing up, grief, falling in love, life and death. Also lots of jokes about bums and stuff.

Songs of Friendship contains additional material and appendices detailing the making of the shows plus annotated scripts with notes from the author. The Edinburgh Fringe performance was described by The Stage as 'Joyous - heart-lifting and incredibly moving...as accomplished a piece of storytelling as you could hope to see.'
