4. Droppings
Paul Roseby recalls doomed musicals about bombing Nagasaki, a travelling executioner and Leonardo da Vinci. From 2004.
Take a seat for the gruesome finale - featuring...........
Out of the Blue - a musical about the bombing of Nagasaki, nicknamed 'Into The Red'
Fields of Ambrosia, about the dropping of heads, an "hilarious" tale of a travelling executioner - affectionately referred to as 'Fields of
Amnesia' by the poor cast members desperately trying to forget they were in it
Plus, the sad story of Leonardo, a musical in which the great artist gets off with Mona Lisa. A production funded by the tiny island of Nauru, whose entire economy is based on the guano industry - fossilized bird droppings
Producer: Elizabeth Freestone
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in May 2004.
