THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER

Richard has created an innovative and highly original music drama version of 'The Rime'. A close working relationship with the artists Simon Kenevan and Paula Kenevan has produced inspirational designs which capture beautifully the surreal and otherworldly nature of this unique setting of Coleridge's poem. This exciting and populist project aims to present The Rime, using Richard's space time theory about the work, as a drama played out in a parallel universe. It is an experience which illuminates afresh the profound message for mankind contained within 'The Rime of The Ancient Mariner'.
