Fire in the Belly

Fire in the Belly is a tribute to the life and stories of Woodrow Woody Wilson Guthrie. Woody was the unwitting voice of the depression and dustbowl years; All you can write is what you see, and a champion for the hard hit folks who didnt have a voice. He became an inspiration for many singers such as Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg and Bruce Springsteen to name but a few, and father of Arlo Guthrie. Dave Plimmer tells the story of the musician and the man mixing biographical monologue in the voice of Guthrie with his music, celebrating his art and fire plagued story. It is a testimony to the emotional power of a single performer, creating a living biography as he takes us into the world of Guthrie creating a sense of the bitter sweet reality of his life. A must see emotionally fuelled event for lovers of music and stories alike.Nathan Rodney-Jones: Barnstaple Fringe Theatre Festival review
