STAGING 'BEFORE THE DAWN'
You will need...
- Somewhere between 4 and 8 theatrical headset mics.
- A laptop and LCD projector, and someone to run it
- A competent sound crew with a copy of the script
- Two guitarists (one electric), a bassist, a drummer and a keyboards player. Sightreading optional.
- A cast
- The Prince: youngish, idealistic, handsome: light tenor
- The Girl: youngish, dark, pretty, capable of being both vulnerable and angry, mezzo-soprano
- The Captain; older, military type, basically honourable, rock tenor
- The Magdalene: young, attractive streetwalker, alto
- The Sage: old, wise, teacher, bass
- The Rumour Monger: wiry, quick, streetwise, baritone
- The Sergeant: older, somewhat slow-witted, baritone
- The Beggar: older, mezzo-soprano
- Enough space for both the band and the cast for both rehearsal and performance
And finally, you'll need about two and a half hours for the performance, and several days for the rehearsal!
