  • June 2008, - SHAW SINGS! - Two one act operas by Philip Hagemann

    • ENCOMPASS NEW OPERA THEATRE

    • Award-winning composer, Philip Hagemann teams up with George Bernard Shaw in two of his most fascinating looks at literary inspiration and passion.  The Dark Lady of the Sonnets will delight and illuminate with the likes of Shakespeare himself as a bumbling eavesdropper who snares all his famous lines from the petty conversations of the court -- including in disguise -- Queen Elizabeth herself.  Then, step into Shaw's upside-down-world with a hilarious musical farce, Passion, Poison and Petrifaction, imbued with all the modern day soap opera elements:  infidelity, murder, and intrigue.  You will not stop laughing!  John Yaffe will conduct, and Nancy Rhodes will direct.

    • Andrew will be performing 'The Warder', a Beefeater, a watchman, Guard to the Queen, amazed at who goes walking around at midnight in THE DARK LADY OF THE SONNETS, and 'The Landlord', a working-class man who speaks with a cockney accent in PASSION, POISON AND PETRIFACTION.
