Charlotte Butler, a composer and pianist from the North East of
England is collaborating with Maria Crocker, an actor and director, to write a
brand new song cycle musical for two performers and one pianist. They are using
Kickstarter in order to raise the cash to move their project into the next
phase.
Their musical tells the story of the relationship between Jack,
a security guard struggling in the wake of his wife’s untimely death, and
Mandy, a talented yet occasionally insecure life coach. Using the concept of
life coaching as a foundation, and twelve songs, the song cycle explores the
theme of identity, and asks the enduring question – can people ever truly
change? Both Mandy and Jack actively try to change their lives and their identities
– but how much can they really control?
Maria and Charlotte met just over a year ago when they were both
working on the same theatre production. They subsequently worked together on
two more projects before deciding to write their own musical.
For the past six months, they have been writing material, and are
now ready to undertake a period of research and development early next year. The
goal is to raise £400 through Kickstarter to pay for rehearsal space and
equipment during this research and development period.
