With my book Backstage Confidential about to be published by The Book Guild, I’m turning my attention to two musicals that are ready to move forward.
The Postman and the Poet has the blessing of Antonio Skármeta, whose novel Ardiente Paciencia it’s based on. After hearing the demo, he wrote to us with a message that still makes me grin, “I love every single word… Please hurry up with the production… Wonderful!” We also had a generous note from the Bridge Theatre calling it “a terrific story and very beautifully realised”.
TER recorded an orchestral double CD cast recording for Postman, starring Ethan Freeman, Simon Thomas, and Joanna Ampil. More information here.
Six Nights in Naples is based on a true story. During wartime, the Teatro di San Carlo was occupied by Allied forces, and the theatre staged shows to keep morale up. The piece had a staged reading at the Charing Cross Theatre in London, and you can watch the video here.
Both shows have been workshopped and are ready for a producer who fancies a proper next step. If you’d like a pack, script and listening material, drop me a line via the contact page.
