SUMMARY:Gibaud: The Dowager’s Oyster
DESCRIPTION:The Dowager’s Oyster – An Operetta \nPresented by Cantata Dramatica\nMusic: Louis Mander\nLyrics: Jack Cherry & George Logan\nPerformance date: Thursday 8 th May\, 2025\nVenue: The Reform Club\, Pall Mall\, London\nProduction team\nMD – Louis Mander\nDirector – Peter Champness\nProducer/Designer – Louisa Petais \nThe Dowager’s Oyster is a comic operetta composed by Louis Mander with a\nlibretto by Jack Cherry. It premiered in 2016 at the Grimeborn Festival in\nLondon’s Arcola Theatre. The operetta is set in 1924\, blending murder mystery\nwith comedic farce\, often compared stylistically to Agatha Christie’s intrigue\nand the humor of Gilbert and Sullivan. The plot follows Lady Tindale (the\nDowager) and her daughter Cynthia as they travel to France for a holiday. The\ntrip is peppered with gossip\, misunderstandings\, and scandal involving\nCynthia’s fiancé\, Freddy\, who is secretly in Morocco with his lover. The story\ntakes a darker turn when the Dowager is murdered during a lunch\, leading to a\nwhodunnit investigation by Dr. Gibaud\, a pompous detective. The operetta\ncombines satire\, wit\, and social commentary\, making it a lighthearted yet\nsharp theatrical piece. Louis Mander’s composition received praise for its\nengaging musical style\, while the production was noted for its vibrant portrayal\nof 1920s settings and eccentric characters.

SUMMARY:What If? – An Interactive Recital
DESCRIPTION:What If?  \nAn uplifting and moving concert and play combined\, exploring love\, loss\, war\, and women’s suffrage through song – where you\, the audience\, get to choose the direction of the story. \nKieran Rayner baritone\nGamal Khamis piano \nWhat If? is a play and song recital combined – with a twist. At pivotal moments in the story\, the audience votes to decide what the protagonist should do\, changing the plot and musical programme. \nSet in 1914\, What If? features multiple characters acted and sung by Kieran\, with piano and sound effects played by Gamal. Our story explores love\, loss\, friendship\, war\, and women’s suffrage\, all while giving the audience agency over the direction of the narrative. \nWhichever paths are picked\, we guarantee a fulfilling and uplifting experience: an entertaining script connecting a rich selection of German and English songs\, including Schubert\, Robert and Clara Schumann\, Ethel Smyth\, Butterworth\, and Finzi\, alongside contemporary composers. \n\nWhat If? \n\n \n  \n \n \nTickets: https://rosl.org.uk/product/armistice-day-concert-what-if/.
