Carrie: The Musical by Michael Gore (music), Dean Pitchford (lyrics), Lawrence D. Cohen (book) and based on the novel by Stephen King
25 May, 7pm, Post Show Q&A
27 May, 7pm, Captioned Performance
In this revamped, contemporary version of the famous (and infamous) 1988 production, Carrie: The Musical follows the very shy Carrie White. At her high school she is treated as an outcast and is bullied viciously for her differences; her home life is likewise difficult with a fervently religious and loving, but cruelly controlling, mother.
One of her differences is a power that she discovers in herself but keeps secret; and, when her chance at being accepted at the school prom turns sour, she is driven to use this power to catastrophic effect.
With special thanks to Charles Holloway OBE, Summer Season Supporter.
Running time: approx. 2 hrs 15 mins (incl. an interval)
