tale to tale

Today’s challenge was the create a play inspired by a song, there were so many possibilities, this is usually how I get an idea for a play anyway!

Live fast, die young. I used a song by a NZ artist named Owen Rabbit titled ‘Oh My God‘. It’s a very haunting yet beautiful track. The play follows ‘Jason’ a late-20 something returning from his girlfriends funeral.

This is the darkest piece I’ve done, and I guess the most abstract. It also has music incorporated, and for the first time, dancing. It’s like a dark La La Land. But not in the slightest.

Have a look:
