Booking to 16 June 2018
The world premiere of Mood Music at the Old Vic Theatre.
‘Music is medication. The elixir of life. It’s for injecting into the blood stream to take away the pain… to promote euphoria… to adrenalise us and give us courage and fortitude.’
A play about the drama and the psychodrama of making music by Joe Penhall – the writer of Sunny Afternoon and Blue/Orange.
Mood Music will run from 27 April 2018 until 16 June 2018 at the Old Vic Theatre.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
‘I’m not saying he’s a sociopath. I’m just saying you find a lot of damaged people are drawn to the music industry. Lack of empathy, raging narcissism, grandiose egocentricity is expected of them.’
In an expensive London recording studio two songwriters, their lawyers and their psychotherapists go to battle over music.
