Opera della Luna - Nightmare Songs
Work:: Opera della Luna (S320967909)
Production:: Nightmare Songs (T418215648)
The patter songs of Gilbert and Sullivan in one panic-stricken night. On a rainy night in a town in the North of England, the understudy is given a day’s notice that he is ‘on’. A sleepless night ensues, and in the dingy bedroom of his theatrical digs, he tries to rehearse his role - helped, but more often hindered, by one of the other residents of the house - an itinerant variety performer. As the night progresses their discussions take on a more disturbing tone, as the understudy’s rehearsal begins to turn into a true nightmare.
