New Musical BETWEEN EMPIRES to Premiere at Edinburgh Fringe Fest, 12-24 August
BETWEEN EMPIRES, a new British musical with book and lyrics by Morgan Mackintosh and Orlando Simon and music by Michail Palaiologou, will receive its world premiere at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing in Symposium Hall from 12 to 24 August.
BETWEEN EMPIRES is set in late 18th-century India when the East India Company was growing in influence. The musical opens in Bengal at a time when a few thousand British traders controlled the fate of millions, when local rulers were undermined and replaced, and when corruption spread to the very top. Amidst political upheaval and the clashes of culture, a young British officer, George, falls in love with Anala, an Indian princess, who is about to marry the man chosen for her by her uncle, the Nawab.
The cast will be led by Claire-Marie Hall as Anala and Josh Little as George, with Daryl Armstrong, Minal Patel, Alex Falkowski, Wayne Perrey, Sarah Rajeswaran, Rasheeda Ali, Keith Higham and Matthew Ronchetti.
BETWEEN EMPIRES will be directed by Will Wrightson, choreographed by Emily Piercy and designed by takis.
BETWEEN EMPIRES will be produced at Symposium Hall by Morgan Mackintosh and Orlando Simon.
