Delivering Debussy
Anvil Creek Theatre (Australia)
1918. Debussy has died and is at the Pearly Gates waiting to be
processed. Calculaties, a staff member at the Pearly Gates, has to
decide whether his music was great enough for him to spend his eternity
in the composer’s room, mixing with all the greats. This absurd comedy
tells Debussy's history – from a less than fashionable beginning, to his
attempts to implement a new style of music – Impressionism. Delivering
Debussy explains impressionism in music whilst exploring this popular
composer's personality, his circumstances, and his relationships and
rapport with his contemporaries.
