Lost in Music

Lost in Music is a new gig-theatre show inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: the story of a talented musical couple’s journey to hell and back.  It’s a tale about the power of music which has been told and retold for thousands of years; in Lost in Music, it’s told using the voices of young musicians, telling us what music means to them and how it informs their lives, friendships and sense of self.  

At the end of the show, the professional cast are joined on stage by young musicians from the local area at each venue.  The young musicians join in with and then take over the final song. We will work with each venue to recruit the young musicians, who are paid for their time for rehearsal and performances.  

Text and direction by Nicholas BoneMusic by Kim Moore with songs by Kim Moore, Alex Neilson, Claire Willoughby, Emily Phillips and Jill O’SullivanPerformed by Alex Neilson, Claire Willoughby, Emily Phillips and Jill O’Sullivan               

“Moore’s music is tremendous, as are the individual songs, co-written by the four performing musicians, Jill O’Sullivan, Alex Neilson, Clare Willoughby and Emily Phillips; and the show is bound together by Nicholas Bone’s simple and beautiful text, which tells an old story, and links it to a new one with a depth of feeling that makes for a unique theatrical experience, as beautiful as it is moving.” **** The Scotsman
