The Ensemble Theatre Company’s latest production Ring of Fire, Richard Maltby Jr.’s musical review of singer Johnny Cash’s extensive body of work is a real Christmas cracker!

The hugely entertaining cast at the New Vic consists of five actor-musicians – L.J. Benet, Glenn Stanton, Valerie Larsen, Kasper,and Sam Linkowski – under the direction of Randy Redd reflecting their takes on Cash over his career with various interpretations.

The show, which reflects the highs and lows of The Man in Black, runs through December 17, just a week before Yuletide, and includes more than 30 classic hits, including “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “I Walk the Line.”

Great fun…
