The imagined history of troubadour Countess Beatriz de Dia. An intimate
half concert/half play transports you to 12th century Provence with plaintive
songs and foot-stomping medieval dances. Jan Chappell plays the redoubtable Beatriz
whose emotions are sacrificed to an early loveless marriage: her only recourse is to channel
her pain into a passionate song about betrayal: A Chantar. Jan has played several seasons
at the RSC and The Tricycle and played Cally in the cult BBC 80s sci-fi series Blake’s Seven.
