'Speak, and Life’s a tragedy,
'but sing, and it’s a comedy.
'Sing, say the wise,
'like no one’s listening.
'And no one is. Not for long.
'“Softly, Surely” by Daniela Giorgi and Paul Gilchrist is a one act contemporary comedy that asks ‘Is music a guide to Life’?
'After all,
'you got to listen,
'you got to join in,
'and though it always drives forward,
'the end is never the point.
'In “Softly, Surely” five Sydney-siders face the music – fractured families, broken dreams, impending mortality – and say ‘Please, one more time, from the top!’
