The assembly
A one-man operatic thriller. Johnny's been kidnapped, the Black Camel of Takrilakastan has showed up and a mysterious pair of goggles has opened a portal to another world. Midnight is fast approaching and the chase is on to rescue Johnny.
Johnny’s Midnight Goggles is a mind-and genre-melting explosion of story-telling, ravishing singing, virtuoso cello-playing and sonic wizardry – Tim Burton meets John Adams, Arnold Schwarzenegger meets Edith Piaf, Philip Pullman meets Paganini. Witty, nail-biting and entrancing.
Returning with their third show, SharpWire are cellist/singer/ theatre performer, Matthew Sharp and writer/composer, Pete M Wyer. Their spellbinding work has been acclaimed around the world. |
