Decade Roundup 2009 to 2019 Part 3: The Night Bride Part 1

The Night Bride started life as a short story I wrote that was published in New Writings in the Fantastic in 2007 and later became a music theatre piece which I composed to a libretto by Mike Sizemore. The piece received its premiere in Vienna in 2012 for soprano, cimbalom and quadrophonic tape.

What was a little unusual about this adaptation was the fact that there was an unpublished interim adaptation of the piece which informed the 2012 musical version.

Before writing the libretto, Mike wrote a comic book adaptation which was beautifully illustrated by David Kennedy. Here is that version.
