And Nothing But the Truth

Synopsis:
A crime has been committed and a charge has been brought. An apparently open and shut case leads to the unravelling of a complex web of intrigue, deception and ultimately murder. Six characters return to the scene of a crime to reconstruct their part in the incident. Unease and anxiety turn to horror and panic - no one knows who is telling the truth - and no one is sure of their own truth.

Drenched

Synopsis:
A tale of murder, obsession, sexual jealousy and rain. Intense and dramatic, Drenched is a darkly-humorous tale incorporating water in its myriad forms. A lone woman weaves through the raindrops telling stories that play fast and loose with our perceptions. As the music plays on, she slowly drowns herself in an imaginary life. . .

Man Inside, The

Synopsis:
A re-imagining of the Jeckyll and Hyde dilemma pursued by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886. In this contemporary musical version of the story, can love save Jekyll from the tragedy that his passions lead him to, or will he take the potion to justify his self-serving needs? The romantic and dramatic music of this drama is intoxicating, and Dave Willetts' sympathetic portrayal of the complex character extraordinary.

Notes:
adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. Music Tony Rees. Lyrics Tony Rees. Lyrics Gary Young. Book by Tony Rees. Book by Gary Young. Music Dave Willetts (additional material).
