23 July Blue - Joni Mitchell Sung by Mae Karthauser

“I was utterly blown away… an absolute emotional rollercoaster..magical” Amy “In all my years I have never cried at a gig. I was crying on the first song” Martin Songwriter Mae Karthauser is lending her voice to a breathtaking new live performance: a heart wrenching tribute to Joni Mitchell’s seminal album Blue. Mae will be performing the entire Blue album, plus nine other Joni favourites from her early songwriting era. Mae, who has performed at Glastonbury Festival, on prime-time BBC1 and on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6, identified Joni Mitchell as the first and most influential songwriter she discovered as a teenager, and was called to delve into recreating the album as a live performance when approached by friend and guitarist Rowland O’Connor at the end of a gig back in 2025. “Who’s album would you most like to recreate?” he asked. Unprompted, they both came up with the same answer. “Joni Mitchell’s songs feel like dreams, like journeys off somewhere deep and familiar” says Mae. “It’s great to go beyond memorising and really into the magic, the poetry and the stunning emotional landscapes Joni is able to conjure with her songwriting” Breathing new life into the 1971 classic, Mae’s silken and athletic vocals soar nimbly over Joni’s melodies, and paired with her expressive piano playing she brings a raw and living presence to these timeless songs.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

With a fast-paced retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel - revolution, romance and razor-sharp comedy are guaranteed. IntoBodmin are a proud partner in supporting this show in coming to Cardinham Woods. France is burning, the guillotine is busy, and Marguerite Blakeney is stuck in England with an idiot husband, a man so relentlessly foolish, it’s starting to feel strategic…However when ruthless revolutionary Chauvelin – head of the French Republic's Committee of Public Safety, with a very loose grip on the word “safety” – threatens her brother’s life, Marguerite is dragged into a world of spies, secrets and very sharp blades. Will she betray the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, or let her brother face the guillotine. What do you do when every choice costs you the person you love? Three actors tear through revolutions, opera houses, seedy Dover pubs and glittering ballrooms using nothing but a mountain of wigs and sheer nerve. Expect quick-fire gags, high-octane multi-rolling in this sharply modern, joyously theatrical retelling of Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling classic. IntoBodmin have been producing Theatre in the Woods for the last 5 years, bringing you the opportunity to experience the finest performances Cornwall has to offer in Bodmin's very own National Forest. **VIP TICKETS ON SALE NOW ** NEW for this year's Theatre in the Woods show.
