Personnel

Notes

    A "rock opera in 3 acts", comprised of the following characters:

    SHINY: A former artist of great renown. Also known as 'Zero' or 'Glass', presently late 70's in age. Who, in being judged a present danger to global and civil society, has been permanently exiled into space.

    JUNE: Ardent and longtime admirer of Shiny. Whom through illicit bribery has placed herself alongside Shiny's craft; albeit at a distance where she remains unknown and unseen. In age, a generation or so younger than Shiny.

    THE SERAPHIM: A Greek chorus of celestial beings.

    OSIRAH: A non-binary, socially conscious teen. Part of the facile hacker group 'Hopus Dei'.

    NIGHTHAWK: A young male. Also Osirah's closest partner in 'Hopus Dei'

    DR. AESH: Legendary hacker and devotee of psychedelic journeying, plus public contrarian some 80 years of age.

    THE NIGHT WATCHMAN: Sole gatekeeper of 'Dream Dream', the long-shuttered amusement park that has seen better days.

    RUBY: Featured performer and automaton of Dream Dream's show pavilion; female in form but programmed anachronistically as a chirpy 1930's chorine.

    Storyline notes are included for each song.
