Easter Rising to Become a Musical

The Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, which laid the foundations of the Irish state, is to become a musical, due to premiere in Dublin in 2011.

1916 the Musical, written by Simon Humphreys with music by Paul Atkins, Wayne Urquhart and David Christmas, will base a fictional love story around the factual events of the Easter Rising, following the lives of the historical and everyday characters, with a love triangle that leads to obsession, betrayal and ultimately revenge.

The production company, 1916 Productions, will be holding open vocal auditions for a preliminary demo recording. A small selection of the tracks will be recorded to give an overview and a taste of this exciting, developing new musical. These auditions will be held at the London Irish Centre in Camden on 18th, 19th and 20th August. For full details go to the website at www.1916themusical.com/.
