Olivia!

As part of Haddo Arts Festival 2023, Haddo Arts are delighted to present this video of the Haddo Children's Theatre production of a very special stage show called ‘Olivia’ , recorded during their performance at Haddo in March 2023. This brilliant and innovative show, set in Victorian times, traces the steps of Olivia, from downtrodden orphan to star of the stage. On her journey to the bright lights of London, she is befriended by Eliza Doolittle [from "My Fair Lady"] and, after a series of adventures, becomes a singer in a new Gilbert and Sullivan show, thanks to the unlikely assistance of Fagin and The Artful Dodger(Oliver). Haddo Children’s Theatre were in the dress rehearsal stage of Olivia when Covid struck and shut down the country – and were delighted to be revisiting this wonderful show and “welcamin you to Landan wiv all the toffs n’ common folk”. Haddo Arts Festival runs from 6 - 10 October 2023 in the various venues at Haddo. Full details of all Festival events and tickets available on our web site, https://www.haddoarts.com where you can also donate to support our work in bringing arts and culture events and activities to north east Scotland.
