The world premiere rehearsed reading of my new play about Wagner,
Sins of the Fathers seems to have gone down pretty well yesterday at the Orange Tree. The audience laughed a lot, the actors seemed to be enjoying it (I think) and the performance zipped by and I got a jolly nice round of applause too, and it was all a bit wonderful. Our fabulous cast was Sarah Gabriel (Vicky/Cosima), John Sessions (Wagner) and Jeremy Child (Frank/Liszt).
A few pics from the rehearsal, complete with a reasonably idiomatic piano score of
Tristan und Isolde and the magic bottle of Chateau Tristan 1865...
