The Nightingale |
|
Adapted from "The Emperor's
Nightingale" by Hans Christian Andersen Written and directed by
Brian Seward Music by Bang Wenfu and Belinda Foo |
|
11 - 25 Nov 2006 |
|
|
From the same creative team which brought you the wonderful sell-out
musical ¡°Rainbow Fish!¡± comes The Nightingale, an Asian themed family-centred
musical featuring a fusion of both Western and Asian techniques, and
carefully interweaving live action, puppetry and tuneful original songs. |
|
Money and power cannot buy happiness; and sometimes life¡¯s greatest
treasures come in a very plain wrapping. |
|
In this beautiful story, an Emperor with all wealth and power at his
command is amazed when he finds true joy in the simple song of a small
brown nightingale. It brings him something that none of his money or
influence can provide. |
|
However, things get complicated when an imitation nightingale is brought
to the Emperor. Will he choose the seemingly better performance of the
mechanical bird, or the untamed and unpredictable beauty of the real
thing? |
|
The Emperor finds out to his cost that you can¡¯t replace the truth with
an imitation, however good it may seem ¨C and it¡¯s up to the most
unlikely team of a kitchen maid and a wild bird to save the Emperor and
the whole Empire from a major disaster! |
|
Part of the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 worldwide Celebration, this
Asian themed family-centred musical will feature a fusion of both
Western and Asian techniques, carefully interweaving live action,
puppetry and tuneful original songs. |
|
By using a simple and clear story that even the youngest can follow, but
with themes and issues very relevant to teens and adults we have created
a heart-warming and colourful dramatic experience for everyone. |
|
Bringing together all of our experience in creating children¡¯s and
family theatre, we believe that this will be one of the best and most
exciting productions we have created so far. |
