The Screams of Kitty Genovese

My friend David Simpatico is at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest with his show that he wrote the libretto and music for.  Very exciting, wish I were there. 

take a look at the links for a really innovative new opera/musical for stage based on a true story.  Kitty was killed in NYC and there were people standing by AND no one helped.

And except from the review:

Claustrophobic, terrifying, unsettlingly tuneful and all too human, it was what you could term 'relevant' if you wanted to. But it's more than that: it's a brilliantly realised tale for our times and an opera to match, straddling and squashing artificial genre boundaries as it steams towards the inevitable tragedy. Emotionally it's deeply uncomfortable, as it should be; musically it's raw, passionate, noisy and dazzling. Brilliant performances from the whole cast. My friend kindly gave me a lift home afterwards, which was nice because I was scared of the dark by then.

Wow!!

Congrats, David!!
