Bonus Song: The Black Dog Jig
The Black Dog is the only pub in Gloaming and the only place where the Awful Adults can go to truly be themselves. Fred Hamington, the proprietor, has an uncanny knack of making you feel hopeful when all seems lost and his laugh is so loud that anyone who hears it feels just a little bit braver. For the adults of Gloaming life can sometimes feel like a grey disappointment, but in The Black Dog, hidden from the Safe Keeper, they can remember all the joy and potential of their youth.
Please remember that the workshop materials that appear on this website were still in development when published, so they shouldn’t be taken as finished works. Cautionary Tale is a show about finding hope and spreading joy when all seems lost. We’ve lost our chance, for the time being, to work on developing the show as we had planned but we’d still like to share the joy. For a limited time, we’re sharing extracts from the score, lyrics, script, choreography and design of Cautionary Tale here so you can get a flavour of this show by reading, rehearsing and performing some of it in your own home. These works are copyright and the use of the materials posted here is strictly for personal, non-commercial use. Once we are ready to go back into production these resources will be removed.
