wish upon a star. |

Parallel
Lines
|
| Synopsis: |
Life
throws up many challenges and problems, failures and successes,
triumphs and defeats; and at each age of man, worries
are relevant and no less important.
Each contrasting scene illustrates that what may appear
trivial to one may be vital to another; each story has
its antithesis; each runs on Parallel Lines. |

| Players: |
17 main speaking parts (6 m, 7 f, 4 variable) + 34 minor
roles (variable m/f); doubling is possible. |

Range: |

|
12
numbers: solos, choruses and choreography; contemporary
styles. Accompaniment by piano or, ideally, by keyboards
and small band. |
| Set:
|
Open
and flexible - works well in the round. Can be done simply
- with lighting and props - but there is scope to be more
ambitious. |
