UNC School of the Arts: The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Performed by Members of Studio 4, John Langs, director
Rupert Holmes: The Mystery of Edwin Drood - "This wildly theatrical musical kicks off when the Music Hall Royale (a loony Victorian troupe) 'puts on' its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Dickens mystery. The playfulness of this play-within-a-play draws the audience toward one of Drood’s most talked-about features, which allows the audience to vote on the solution as prelude to its unusual and hilarious finale!"
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood, with music, book and lyrics by Rupert Holmes, tells the story of an orphan who mysteriously disappears and is presumed murdered. The real question is who murdered Edwin Drood, and it is up to the audience to decide. This ... musical... will be directed by John Langs and features members of Studio IV, the senior class of the School of Drama. Students of the School of Design and Production will provide support for the production. Langs holds a B.F.A. in directing from UNCSA and is a graduate of The Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts. He has worked as a professional director in the United States and throughout the world for the last eight years. He is currently an associate artist at the Seattle Shakespeare Company....
