I thought this was very good, and would like to know if it's ever going to be a full on stage show.

Your thoughts.....

We debated it at the end of last year: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.ph ... 93#p273193

User2357, a peripatetic pyrrhonist, who was our resident literary critic was distinctly underwhelmed, I'm afraid!

But how good did you think it was? I only read the script...

Not that I could make complete sense of it , but I would love to see this happen. Still, I can't decide whether I really like the almost falsetto screams of the one who sings "Assassins Touch" or not. Although, I always find my self coming back to listen to that one and "I am Elite". I guess that may be my two favourite hit songs from that collection altogether and Bindweed is my favourite.

Well, if you would be interested in trying to organise it, I'm game to help out... just as long as I don't have to sing pop "music"...

Don't you think they might have done a musical based on 'The Dark Wheel"....

Well... who is "they"? Ian Bell's brother is an actor, so presumably Elite the Musical was done by the two of them... neither all that connected with Holdstock (have you seen our wiki page about Holdstock? It has an interesting unpublished letter he wrote: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Robert_Holdstock)

[Commander Mick]

Yeah, written by Aidan Bell, and Brian Phillips.....

Those guys have talent.

By they, I meant anybody or maybe Robert Holdstock before he passed away.

Been listening to the musical over over again and I'm sure Hawthorn changes from a female performer to male performer or did I miss something there?
