A camera breaks and four friends conjure spirits (both spectral and alcoholic) as they unravel four interwoven narratives spanning seven centuries: a warped fairy tale about two sisters and a treehouse astronomer; a retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher; a purgatorial intermezzo about Scheherazade and the ghost of Thelonious Monk; and a contemporary fable about a subway murder. Inspired by source material as diverse as Arabian Nights and The Twilight Zone, Ghost Quartet is about the stories we choose to pass on, the versions of ourselves we choose to inhabit, and the healing power of music.
Featuring a cast of singer-musicians that includes David Butler (Love That For You), Hany Lee (Hamilton), and Willow Sizer (Guys and Dolls), this is an intoxicating musical odyssey about love, death and whisky – written and composed by Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812). This production has previously had two sold-out Melbourne seasons, Meat Market Stables (2021) and Gasworks Arts Park (2019).
1hr 30min. No interval.
