Drake's Dream

Drake's Dream enjoyed a limited run at London's Shaftesbury Theatre in the late 1970's following its earlier opening at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing. It is a biographical musical based on Sir Francis Drake's iconic sail around the world during the 16th century and in 1977, was commemorating his 400th anniversary. The show was recorded prior to its West End run before another playwright was brought in to revise the production - it then went on to play the Westminster Theatre early the following year.

Stage Door Records are pleased to announce the Original London Cast Recording of 'Drake's Dream', will be released on January 27th, 2017. The CD release continues Stage Door's commitment to preserve 'lost' British theatre scores of the past 50 years.
