Gillian Lacey-Solymar who is one of the Movers and Shakers has written the words for an opera which is coming to the Fringe. It’s called Irresistible. The Fringe Guide Confirms:
“This fresh new musical tells the story of two women, 200 years apart, on either side of the voracious press machine. Written in pithy verse set to an energetic score, the show centres on the life of the world’s first celebrity, Emma Hamilton, seen through the eyes of a present-day journalist transported back in time. But this is no simple biopic. Irrepressible functions on many levels: as a searing social commentary, a tale of blossoming female friendship, and an hour of fun”.
The show runs from 21st – 26th August at The Space (Venue 45) at Jeffrey Street.
