After Rhinoceros: The Red Pill

Compositions Theatre

‘Université, République Française, 2020. A Rhinoceros stampedes through campus. Drifting student Nicky is at loss, what even is truth any more? Nothing feels real – except, maybe that Rhinoceros… After Rhinoceros: The Red Pill – a radicalisation horror for the f**king normies of the Netflix generation.’

Myself and George Rigby wrote the music and sound design for this theatre production, written by Nessah Muthy and directed by Debbie Hannan, adapted from ‘Rhinoceros’ by Eugene Ionesco. Performed at Royal Welsh, cancelled due to Covid-19.
