Old Vic Theatre
Olivier Award-winning playwright Joe Penhall (Sunny Afternoon, Blue/Orange) teams up with acclaimed director Roger Michell to present the world premiere of his new play Mood Music, starring Rhys Ifans. Playing a limited season at the Old Vic Theatre, Mood Music sees a battle about the impact of the music industry on its listeners and creators. Just how damaging can music be?
‘Music is medication. The elixir of life. It’s for injecting into the blood stream to take away the pain… to promote euphoria… to adrenalise us and give us courage and fortitude.’
Multi-award winning writer Joe Penhall presents a world premiere of his gripping new drama Mood Music at London’s Old Vic Theatre, as part of the highly anticipated 2018 season. With further productions including stage adaptations of Fanny & Alexander and A Monster Calls, the play sees a battle take place between industry titans about the impact of music on its creators.
Taking place in a state-of-the-art London recording studio, Mood Music sees two songwriters at loggerheads, accompanied by their lawyers and psychotherapists. Just how damaging can music be? With ever-growing egos and personalities in the industry, this highly topical play studies the effects of music on our innermost feelings and the psychology of creating mixed melodies.
Mood Music is written by multi-award winning playwright Joe Penhall, who had recent success with the 2015 Olivier Award-winning Kinks’ musical Sunny Afternoon.
