A1: The Road Musical
2008 • E5 Aug 29, 2008 25m
The surprising stories of ordinary people who live or work along the A1 from London to Edinburgh, sung and spoken by the people themselves. Finding people local to the road through word of mouth and the press, Till interviewed them about their stories, adapted them as song lyrics and set them to music. He then coached, choreographed, and directed their performances. The result is both a tragic-comic tale of love, life, and lay-bys on the A1 and a compelling portrait of contemporary Britain.
