"That Jones Boy!" is a show-within-a-show about a late 18th century theatre company presenting an adaptation of the classic Henry Fielding novel, "Tom Jones." The plot follows our hero from his infancy and childhood (in the prologue) through his years as a young man seeking his place in society. We follow his encounters on the road to London, entanglements with various women and eventually find him on the gallows about to be hanged for a crime he did not commit. He is rescued and at last restored to the arms of his one true love as the play ends happily and the other principal character are also properly paired. Large cast of 33 actor-singer-dancers all of whom perform multiple roles under the AEA Favored Nations Agreement. Orchestra: 24 players minimum, parity with AEA. Multiple, cinematically rapidly changing "painterly" locales. Period costumes best described as "a designer's wet dream" For the current draft of the script, additional information and material including music samples: carver.robertd@gmail.com
