This project (from its plays within a play; through each audition & rehearsal) aims to present a proposal to the commissioners at Channel Four Television
- for the production of a mockumentary style musical designed to follow that relatively small gang of self-defined misfits who - while living on the streets of Brighton, and from their “cathedral gift shop” which is now sprawling across those pavements outside the Chapel Royal in North Street - are selling guided tours of a cathedral that does not exist.
plans
We intend to pay a female blues singer/guitarist to play a short set during Thursday’s Typewriters & Vinyl night at The Poets pub in Hove. It would be a performance recorded and then uploaded onto YouTube.
meanwhile
Meanwhile - as the late great Alex Harvey would say, gather round, boys and girls, and listen.
While teams of skilled negotiators are trying to persuade Florence Ami Edo Takahashi to return to her family in Japan, Florence is continuing to take cash from her trust fund to finance further developments of an augmented reality app (modelled on Pokémon Go) which our street gang has been persuading gullible tourists to download onto their mobile phones.
And then, later - after dark, Florence will be seen in the company of Berlin Sally, a blues musician [and another Lemon Tree Guest House resident] performing set pieces from their new "musical” [Songs from The Dead See Doom Scrolls] at one of Brighton’s lesser-known karaoke bars [which has recently changed its name to The End is Nigh].
next step
Peter will explore a few more local Karaoke bars and Open Mic nights, to form some better idea of what's going on in those outposts of creative fun.
