The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Synopsis
Some years ago, I put Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to music and toured NSW schools with it as a PowerPoint. I sang over the music and presented it to students. At that time I decided to imagine it as a stage play. I have outlined the possibilities for stage production around the original poem and all of the music is available, with and without lead vocals, depending upon your requirements. This version has never seen the light of stage.
