Product details
Libretto at Six O'clock is a theatre piece created in tandem with writer Katherine MacDonald, based on a monologue spoken and sung by a newsreader presenting the Six O'clock news. Camus' short story The Renegade, was the inspiration behind the tone of the piece, the abdsurdist logic of the narrator asking (herself) questions and answering them in a contradictory way, amongst a striking almost musical language ("Still waiting, where is the city, those sounds in the distance, and the soldiers perhaps the victors, no, it can't be"), as the basis for creating a contemporary theatre piece. As the character drifts in and out of the temporality between her dream state, her moral & ethical thoughts, and which part of her story is even real, the rhythm of the monologue was important to me in creating a dialogue between the voice and the strings, which are often deliberately out of phase.
