Karen Carpenter - in her joyful and poignant renditions of
songs written for her, and in her collaborations with other others - never
failed to garner life-long fans and admirers. Think We’ve only just begun, Rainy Days and Mondays, Close to You, Sing
and her reinterpretation of The Beatles’ Ticket
to Ride.
There is a Karen Carpenter-voiced song for every occasion - first love, break-ups, make-ups, introspection and sheer joie de vivre.
In Karen & Me, coming to The Old Mushroom Farm, well-known actress Shannon Kenny is accompanied by virtuoso musician Alan Judd on a unique journey to celebrate an international musical great of the 20th Century through snapshots of Karen Carpenter’s life and illustrious career and its indelible imprint on generations of people around the world from the USA to the UK and on Shannon’s life in good old RSA.
The production is directed by Darren King and takes place on November 14 at 15h00.
