Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the roof-raising ‘godmother of rock ‘n’ roll’, influenced countless musicians from Elvis to Johnny Cash. This sparkling, intimate portrait of Rosetta and her beloved singing partner, Marie Knight, restores these forgotten musical heroines to the spotlight as one of the most remarkable and revolutionary duos in music history.
Mississippi, 1946. Sister Rosetta has changed the face of gospel music with her exuberant, electric guitar-playing style. Shunned by straitlaced church folk for performing in nightclubs and glorying in rhythm and blues, she’s persuaded the saintly young singer Marie to join her on a tour of the segregated southern States. But first she has to convert Marie’s pure Sunday sound into something that has just a little more swing…
Featuring a wealth of joyous rock and gospel hits including Didn’t It Rain and Peace in the Valley, the show will feature live musicians accompanying Olivier Award-winning West End star Beverley Knight (Memphis, The Drifters Girl, Sylvia, Sister Act) as Rosetta Tharpe.
Joining Beverley Knight is Ntombizodwa Ndlovu as Marie Knight. Her recent theatre credits include Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, The Space Between Us, Mixtape, Nothing, and The Mountain Top (Royal Exchange Theatre).

Worcester Theatres are proud to announce an exciting opportunity for 16–21-year-olds to develop skills and gain hands-on experience in the technical theatre industry through the NT Connections Technical Theatre Programme, held at the Swan Theatre in Worcester. Committed to breaking down barriers within the arts industry, Worcester Theatres aim to make careers in theatre more accessible to young and emerging talent across Worcestershire.
The NT Connections Technical Theatre programme is a free opportunity and is ideal for any young person looking to build new skills, get real backstage experience, and learn how theatre really works behind the scenes of a production. The programme will take place over three days on Monday 30 March, Tuesday 31 March and Wednesday 1 April 2026 at the Swan Theatre.
Participants will learn the basics of stage lighting, sound and backstage communication systems, and take part in specialist workshops including lighting programming, sound mixing, flying and rigging, and hands-on sessions using QLab software. They will also gain practical experience with professional technical equipment and provide technical support for productions during the NT Connections Festival 2026 at the Swan Theatre. A £50 travel bursary will be available to support travel costs, and the NT Connections Technical Theatre Programme is funded by the National Theatre.
The NT Connections Technical Theatre programme can be the start of a promising career in the technical theatre industry, as proven by Worcester Theatres’ Theatre Technician, Lewis Carey who took part in the programme back in 2022.
Lewis Carey, Theatre Technician at Worcester Theatres said, “I first took part in the NT Connections Technical Theatre programme four years ago at Worcester Theatres, and got to oversee how a professional theatre puts on multiple shows. After completing my first successful NT Connections technical theatre programme in 2022, I was hired as a Junior Theatre Technician though an apprentice scheme at Worcester Theatres.
I have since been involved in the NT Connections Festivals for the last three years, with last year running all of the lighting programming and designing for the events. The programme gave me a great opportunity to start my career and work with people who have lots of experience in theatre and all aspects of the technical industry.”
