1 1 The Plague Dances Marcel Dorney , Four Larks , 2012 single work musical theatre

'The phenomenon of dancing mania has left a mysterious trail through history - entire communities infected with a spontaneous urge to dance until they literally drop. It's suicide with a backbeat, but what's behind these lethal outbreaks? The devil's drumming or religious ecstasy? Neurological decay or otherworldly arrival? A riot of motion and mayhem that spans from medieval rites to modern day marathons of mass movement, "The Plague Dances" is a dance of death with a contagious undercurrent.'

1 1 The Fate of Franklin and His Gallant Crew : (A Junkyard Odyssey) Four Larks , 2010 single work drama

'... Lady Franklin's desperate search for her husband's doomed expedition is met with ghostly interruption from the former Lady Franklin and intertwines with the character of Charles Dickens ... writer and producer of 'The Frozen Deep'; a Victorian vision of the Franklin voyage. As Dickens becomes more and more entwined in his own play, the play itself begins to rebel and take on mythic and rebellious proportions. Woven throughout this journey are songs and music ... an epic adventure into the dangers of ice voyages and myth making.'
