Beck Theatre - annual show 2013

Our 2013 annual show, which took place at the 600-seat Beck Theatre in Hayes, was a sell-out. The audience were amazed by the antics of our junior group in a chimney sweeps' scene, entertained by a squad of incompetent firemen, and as always enjoyed the lively and energetic performances of dances from all regions of Poland - as well as some from areas which now lie outside Poland's borders. The latter included a street scene (reminiscent of Oliver Twist!) and dances from Lwów, and a suite of dances from the area around Kołomyja which now also lies in Ukraine. The repertoire of dances was enhanced by solos and duets by Mazury's talented singers and musicians. As is traditional, our performance culminated in the Krakowiak, which was danced by 24 couples! Congratulations are due in particular to the many new dancers in all three groups who worked very hard over the past 6 months to learn the repertoire.
