Dal Segno

Perelia Productions presents: DAL SEGNO
Friday Night at the Gig! Dal Segno: Used as a direction in music to return to the sign that marks the beginning of a repeat. Set in London in 1979, DAL SEGNO invites audiences into the gritty and entertaining world of professional musicians. This play features a disparate group of seven freelance musicians who play in a resident band at a bustling club-venue. While the club is alive with energy, the drama unfolds backstage in the band-room, revealing the personalities and predicaments of these musicians as they navigate their fears, anxieties, hopes, thrills, and relationships. Written by Joseph Morley, who has a rich background in both classical and jazz piano, DAL SEGNO is inspired by his extensive experience in the music industry, having worked alongside notable artists and in major West End musicals. DAL SEGNO offers an entertaining fly-on-the-wall perspective of life behind the scenes in the non-classical music profession.
