Using music and inspiration from the award winning film A Beautiful Mind, the Southern Knights bring to the floor the exceptional life of John Forbes Nash Jr. John Nash was branded a mathematical genius at the age of 30 and went on to international acclaim by winning the Nobel Prize in 1994. This is the story not only of a brilliant mind but of a troubled mind. Southern Knights will portray the courage, passion and triumph of John Nash’s life, work and mental illness. 

The staff for 2007 will be: 
Gavin Woodhead – Director
Tammy Clegg – Assistant Director
Adam Hood - Movement
David Fletcher - Drill
Tracy Trafford - Tech
Lori West - Tech

We are excited to also announce the addition of Dean Broadbent on to the design team for 2007. Dean is currently the director of Flanagan High School Winterguard based in Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA who were placed 5th in the Scholastic World Class at the 2006 WGI Championships. Dean will be travelling to the UK together with Hayden Rhodes - staff member of Flanagan High School Winterguard – for a full weekend of rehearsal at the end of November.

In addition, returning on staff for his 4th winter with Southern Knights, Adam Sage, now Director of the newly formed Phantom Regiment Winterguard, will be travelling to the UK to work with the Guard in December 2006 and February 2007 as well as acting as a consultant throughout the season.

2007 sees the Southern Knights move into a new era and the staff and 18 members are excited to explore the performance opportunities presented in this emotionally charged production. With the clever use of colourisation and props we hope to entice you into a world of mathematics and delusion!
