GLAS CHANGE OF VENUE FOR NOVEMBER 26 PERFORMANCE

[Denis McClean]

Dear friends of GLAS,

We regret to inform you that due to unforeseen repair work on the roof of the Aula in Coudriers, we have to announce a change of venue for Mikel Murfi's performance of 'I Hear You and Rejoice.' It will now take place at 19.30 on November 26 in the Aula of the College Sismondi, 3 Eugene-Rigot, just off the Avenue de France close to the College Sismondi stop for the 15 tram. It is beside the Graduate Institute or IHEID (Institut de Hautes etudes internationales) and is within easy walking distance of the Secheron Park and Ride  on Avenue de France. The parking at Place des Nations on rue Varembe is also nearby. The ticket office will be open from 18.30 as usual. 

GLAS is  sorry for any inconvenience and we continue to be grateful for any support you can give in spreading the news of this event to friends who may be interested. See below.

Best wishes,

Denis on behalf of GLAS

'ANOTHER UNFORGETTABLE EVENING' - FROM GLAS

Such was the response to Mikel Murfi's show 'The Man in the Woman's Shoes' earlier this year that we promised to bring him back for another installment. 

Murfi is  here  on November 26, for one performance only of the acclaimed follow-up show in the Kitsy Rainey trilogy with ‘I Hear You and Rejoice.’  No need to have seen the first show to enjoy this. As the New York Times says: ‘The words provide a welcome excuse for Mr. Murfi’s astonishing acting.’

The proceeds from this evening will support the Edith Wilkins Foundation for Street Children in Darjeeling who are currently experiencing a funding crisis.

What the critics say:
‘Here it is, pure distilled 100 per cent proof theatrical magic, conjured up by one man on one chair on an otherwise bare stage. The boundless power of words and storytelling to conjure worlds to involve and enchant an audience has rarely been so clearly demonstrated.’ – London Evening Standard

‘It’s impossible to resist the gale theatrical force as Mr. Murfi presents his heroine through a multi-angled prism, with body language as precise, condensed and evocative as Morse code.’ – New York Times

What the GLAS audience said:

'A very big thank you for bringing Mikel Murfi to Geneva yesterday. He was absolutely
brilliant. I’ve been going to the theatre for 50 years or so and can’t remember a more
stunning performance. I left Coudriers buzzing.'
'…another unforgettable evening!'
'Thank you so much for an amazingly entertaining evening tonight!' 
'That was a super performance last night…. Can’t wait for parts 2 and 3!'
'Standing ovation well merited…. GLAS live on. Best wishes in 2024.'
