Thursday – Patrick 2
The Snare & Feral
Beyond the land of the living, four souls find themselves trapped as the house band in a tavern between death and wherever we go next. Through original folk music they seek to understand who they were when they were alive. When another soul arrives, chaos ensues, leaving them asking, who was I really?
It unfolds that the characters plotted to bring about the demise of one person, Josephine, who ran a musical tavern called ‘The Snare and Feral’ in the English Wilderness.
This Actor-Musician show explores the value of music, atonement and the natural world. It is mystical, playful and otherworldly.
Folk Actor-Musician Musical
Full 2 act show, 3rd draft of script.
We are seeking a venue and resources in order to do a workshop/R&D later in 2025 and looking for Producer support to put the show on in its first format in 2026.
