Time Club - a new musical
I love musicals, I love time travel, I love a high-concept story. So in 2020 I combined them all to write, compose, workshop, direct, etc. etc. a one-act musical set in a world where time travel is a controlled substance that can only be accessed in licenced venues.
I got the opportunity to workshop “Time Club” with the talented Musical Theatre students at the University of Winchester in early 2020, and managed to perform a shortened version just before something something happened in March 2020 you may have heard of which halted further development.
The performance at the University of Winchester was a great success, with comments such as:
"People will want to see it more than once"
"It has a clear message without being preachy"
"Thought-provoking"
"Loved all the songs!"
And I’m sure more wonderful feedback which in the excitement of seeing my vision come to life I forgot to write down.
Also very impressive, a very cool student called one of my songs a “bop”.
Here’s an extract from the opening number:
Honestly one of the greatest achievements of my life and I still plan to give it more of a life, even thought that first momentum was paused in Spring 2020.
