Les Miserables of Kent: Laughter in Lockdown

Only two days in isolation, and this moved to me to tears … of laughter and recognition.  Bloody brilliant!

The Marsh household, who live in Faversham, took to singing about things people had been complaining about yesterday amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Dad Dr Ben Marsh, a history lecturer at the University of Kent in Canterbury, told KentOnline his family have been overwhelmed with the more than 400,000 views it has already received … “It pulled on all the experiences people had been complaining about – like not being able to work or play football – and it just seemed to fit really well with the song.”  (Click through here.)

Dr Marsh said his children – Alfie, 13; Thomas, 12; Ella, 10; and Tes, eight – have been in a few school productions but have otherwise had no musical theatre training.
