Ben and Imo by Mark Ravenhill Paperback Book

Description: Ben and Imo by Mark Ravenhill "Acclaimed dramatist Mark Ravenhill explores the creative process in this riveting exploration of the origin of one of the most beloved British operas of all time"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II is fast approaching. To mark the occasion, Benjamin Britten has just nine months to write a new opera about her predecessor Elizabeth I.Into the world of the disheartened composer enters the exuberant and passionate Imogen Holst, daughter of Gustav and an accomplished musician in her own right. Her candid and can-do attitude proves to be the perfect foil for the capricious and often maddening Britten, and what begins as an arrangement of practical support turns into a bond that not only sees Gloriana to its premiere but endures throughout the rest of their lives.This edition is published to coincide with the world premiere at the Swan Theatre, Stratford, in February 2024.
