It has been thrilling seeing this brought to life in such an incredibly short time. In just 5 days an incredible band of singers under the musical direction of Harvey Brough and theatrical direction of Paulette Randall with Ellen Cairns’ spare stage design created one of the most absorbing and fascinating contemporary operas that Hall has ever staged. The orchestra had a single day’s run through!

The challenging and often shocking libretto by Carole Hayman - - was beautifully complemented by Brough’s terrific score. Already there is interest in taking it further. serial killers
