Melancholy Play: a chamber musical

In this chamber musical version of Sarah Ruhl's Melancholy Play Tilly's melancholy is of an exquisite quality. She turns her melancholy into a sexy thing and every stranger she meets falls in love with her. One day inexplicably Tilly becomes happy and wreaks havoc on the lives of her paramours. Frances Tilly's hairdresser becomes so melancholy that she turns into an almond. It is up to Tilly to get her back.
