Our students achieve so much in the 8-10 weeks we allocate to create these original shows.
After the success of We Will Rock You, our students expressed interest in a prequel. We brainstormed ideas for the different characters and found the most pressing storyline to be the backstory of Queen Gaga. What events led her to become a bad character?
We kept going back to the line from the original play;
“This isn’t what I wanted, this was what yooooooou wanted!”
The question was raised, what if Queen Gaga was originally good, and only became bad later?
What kind of life experiences would change someone from a well-intentioned idealist to a totalitarian queen?
What if the people asked for the dystopian world they found themselves in?
We also began to explore the idea of rules, and what would a world look like if there were no rules?
Our English literature students recently completed the dystopian novel, The Giver, set in a world where identity and choice have been taken away. What about imagining a world where identity, choice, freedom and independence are everything?
If a lack of identity and choice is dystopian, is an abundance of choice utopian?
This new world of creativity and choice serves as the setting for our new, exciting prequel show.
Come see it and decide what kind of world you would want to live in.
