A strange and haunting chamber musical adaptation of Alessandro Baricco’s sprawling novel about the fantasy town of Quinnipak and its inhabitants, particularly the mysterious Mr Rail and the glassworks he owns. The most remarkable thing about this production is the sound: the stage is completely filled with a stunning live glass orchestra, emerging magically from piles of wooden boxes. There are seemingly endless glass musical instruments contributing to the rich and delicate audio landscape, including marimbas, glass drums, chimes and something called a Sauvignon-blancophone (strictly for musical purposes only). Each of the actors plays the glass and sings as the beautiful, sometimes disturbing story unfolds, and the audience are given their own instruments to take part at key moments. Baricco’s enormous world is unwieldy, but this is a chiming, harmonising, enchanting evocation of its spirit.
