A mother sings a lullaby to her child. A teacher imparts ‘wordly wisdom’ upon a student. A tired lawyer eagerly awaits the chance for a promotion. A man recounts his emotional journey on his wedding day. A homeless park dweller fondly recounts the lives of passersby.
These and more seemingly disparate lives are bound together by a common thread of recurrence; they have all been touched and impacted in some way by the same person.
This contemporary and unique conceptual take on the song cycle aims to explore the impact of one life through presenting seven chronological vignettes of individuals affected by a man named John, who never himself appears to the audience in the piece.
