"Are you my madness?"
If you had to choose between home and freedom, what would you choose? Omen is a musical about the power of the imagination, but also its limits. Ariel the fairy opens The Book of Shakespeare, releasing 5 women from his plays. Free for a day on a magical desert island, the women must choose whether to return into the book or stay out and explore the unknown. Written for a company of 7-9 women, with a manageable set involving mainly a giant book, Omen explores the tension between freedom and home, dreams and reality, death and love.

“It’s like The Tempest crashes To the Lighthouse, or Survivor meets Godot... In Earthsea.”
