Solitary

Solitary - a play for four musicians and one actor

Hazel is locked in a police cell. She is 19. She has been arrested at a demonstration. She wasn't really part of the demonstration. She isn't really part of anything.
 
All she has is her music, but that's been taken away. She's alone in her silent cell, except for the mysterious person asleep on the bed. She has got to have music, and she makes it in her head. She makes it out of all the things she knows and all the people she knows. She makes it out of the disasters of her life. Will the music save her life?
 
Music by Hugh Nankivell. Written by Peter Oswald.
Performed by Alfie Weedon, Harry Smith, Tobie Tripp, Nathan Bawden (musicians) and Louise Waterfall as Hazel.

Solitary is a new music theatre production. Produced by Peninsula Arts in partnership with South West Music School and supported by the Dorset Foundation.
