The U2 Musical Some songs are getting arraqnged and we're moving forward!! Posted at 8:37 PM Sep 22 view more
The Story: Feel what happens when the music of U2 is set against a love triangle in Africa, amidst the chaos of a near civil war.
Synopsis: Hoping to continue his mentors missionary work, Father Jonathan O'Shea travels to Africa, only to find his friend and mentor has died in a city which has lost its soul. After meeting a shifty traveling evangelist named Zacharias Soloman, and his band leader, Cappy, Father Jonathan is befriended by Samuel, an all knowing bartender. Samuel helps Father Jonathan find his voice in the strange new land. Samuel also helps Father Jonathan admit his true feelings about Imani. Imani is a beautiful African woman with dreams of becoming a doctor but will settle for being a nun- if it means she can help her people's suffering.
Yet, while Father Jonathan seeks to bring a doctor so Imani can learn new medicines, Zacharias secures her a positition in a nursing program. Still, both men find Imani's Mama yet another obstacle they- and Imani- must face. But how can any of these circumstances be resolved in a place where tribal factions are fighting for control of the city's mines and the people are the ones caught in the middle? Is love really the answer? And, can anything truly be certain in a place "...where the streets have no name"?
Who I'd like to meet: U2. Also, people interested in making this project happen. Whether you are a producer, director, actor, lighting designer - or, just someone who wants to lend their voice in support of a musical written to "make poverty history".
So I am so proud - this project sounds great. I sent a word out to some of the other networks I belong to. Hopefully you'll get some extra responses. I am just so exceited for you. Good luck
Intense! But if there's ever been a play to use U2's music in, this sounds perfect: lots of spirituality with a healthy dose of emotional upheaval in the midst of a political hotbed! I hope I get to see it. :)
