Description A work in progress showing of Nigel Kellaway's 'Opera Project'

From Performance Space database:
"Within the confines of a dilapidated film set,, the soprano seeks revenge against the world, whilst the film auteur directs a deadly melodrama and a drag queen dangerously confuses neurosis with psychopathy. The audience was forced to cross the boundaries as these three very different performers each approach the 'thriller' genre from a very different bent. Truffaut, Cassaventes, Wertmuller, and Hitchcock were all blurred in an operatic fantasy or daring persuasions. See: the Audience and Othe
