Wetland
Wetland was inspired by a poem by Tom Dawe, a re-telling of the Frog Prince fairy tale whereby the Prince-turned-Frog loves his new wetland home and doesn't want to go back to the palace. The idea was developed by the OOze collective- Pamela Morgan, Beni Malone, Ruth Lawrence, and Lois Brown. Music was written by Pamela Morgan and George Morgan, book by Pamela Morgan; dramaturg by Lois Brown and Charles Tomlinson.
The play and music were workshopped virtually at Terra Bruce Productions in January 2022, with demo overdubs added by their excellent musicians. Original demo recordings and rough mixing by Mark Bragg. Come In mix by George Shilling.The style is Nouveau Retro- 70's folk rock fusion.
We are seeking production and development opportunities. Expressions of interest warmly welcomed.
Synopsis and script sample available from button above. Opening song demo below, more to come. Complete script and score available upon request.
As development is ongoing, small discrepancies exist between demo and script, but script is king!
