PARIS Marie Clark Musical Theatre Scott Theatre Musical -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2008 -- Written By: Jon English and David Mackay Director: Jacqui Mulady Musical Director: Ben Saunders Marie Clark Musical Theatre, in association with Jacqui Mulady, and by arrangement with David Spicer Productions, is thrilled to present the musical PARIS, written by that icon of Australian rock, Jon English, and his long-time musical collaborator David Mackay, in its Adelaide premiere. You won't have fully recognized the musical and dramatic talent of this team if you haven't heard the love songs of Paris and Helen, and the soaring notes of the chorus in this imaginative and wonderfully realised treatment of the great Greek legend. The story is set in about 800BC, when Paris, the youngest son of the King of Troy, is shipwrecked on the island of Sparta, a powerful Greek province. He meets, and falls in love with, Helen, wife of the King of Sparta. Paris and Helen sail back to Troy together, but the Spartans raise a giant armada and follow, starting a ten-year war with Troy. The Spartans devise a scheme to overthrow Troy using a giant horse, and so win the war at irredeemable cost to Paris and Helen, the original star-crossed lovers. Jon English will appear at a charity performance to be presented at 2pm on Sunday, 27th July, when the proceeds will go to the McGuiness McDermott Foundation and Childhood Cancer. Jon will autograph programs in the foyer after the show for patrons. Approx.
