Our production of The Raven is a devised musical based on the Albert Bermel and Ted Emery translation of the Carlo Gozzi commedia play.
When King Millo shoots down a precious raven in the forest, an abominable ogre inflicts a dreadful curse upon him that leaves the ill-fated king forever haunted. His brother, Prince Jennaro, miserably searches the world for the key to break the curse, while thwarting the evil magic of a sorcerer known as Norando.
