Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alums Jeremy Desmon (cycle 9) and Samuel Norman (Cycle 30) present their new work at the Turbine Theatre MTFest in London:
PUMP UP THE VOLUME, by Desmon, is a new rock musical based on the classic ‘90s coming-of-age film starring Christian Slater.
Set in 1990, the show tells the story of Mark, a shy outsider who rocks an oppressive, small town by launching an underground Pirate Radio station in his bedroom. By day, Mark’s a quiet loner at Hubert Humphrey High… but, under cover of darkness, he is the raucous, no-holds-barred, shock jock “Hard Harry,” howling anonymously over stolen airwaves to other alienated teens desperate for connection. When tragedy strikes a classmate, the powers-that-be blame the hard-talking radio pirate and try to hunt him down. Soon, Mark must decide whether to sign off for good or Pump Up The Volume.

Norman presents COME DINE WITH ME.
Take a bunch of tuneful strangers. Mix in a dollop of behind-the-scenes skulduggery, a sprinkling of star-crossed love, a Sound Man jumping to all the wrong conclusions, and plenty of juicy arpeggios. Marinade, cook for sixty minutes, and serve hot. The result is a mouth-watering fusion dish, combining the beloved TV show and a sumptuous original score to form Come Dine With Me: The Musical– a family-friendly recipe that will delight even the pickiest palate! Warning: May Contain Spice.
