About the show
Once a celebrated conductor, the Maestro now lives alone, haunted by dreams of past glory and tortured nightly by the visitations of a blood-hungry mosquita.
His tiny nemesis destroys the Maestro’s dream of a magnificent comeback and plunges him into a war he can't win. Not until he recognises in his enemy the same need for love and life as in himself.
This timeless musical tragi-comedy written by Carmel Winters and directed by Muireann Ahern and Stephen Warbeck has a full original score by Academy Award winner Stephen Warbeck (Shakespeare in Love, Captain Corelli's Mandolin) with a stand out performance from Louis Lovett, one of Ireland’s best loved physical theatre actors for all ages. This big-hearted show follows an artist’s journey from innocence to corruption, delight to downfall - and back again.
