Description
At a time of turmoil, wise Tobit is struck blind. Suddenly penniless, he sends his son Tobias to reclaim an old debt. Tobias is afraid but a stranger arrives and offers to guide him ... An orchestra, a company of singers, a choir and two choruses drawn from Lambeth and Southwark accompany Tobias across mountains towards love and self-knowledge in this joyous musical tale. This edition of Tobias and the Angel was performed at The Young Vic Theatre, London, in October 2006.
