The London Buskers Orcherstra… Meet For the End of the World!
A MUSICAL DRAMA, words and music by IVO MOSLEY.
PREMIERED AT THE BATTERSEA ARTS CENTRE, 2008.
London is in a panic. The end of the world is quite possibly imminent. When the moment comes, what will everyone be doing? The London Buskers Orchestra decide to hold a rehearsal as usual. Why not!
Before the grand finale, we follow the lives of some of the buskers – romance, hardship and crazy antics with passers-by in a world on the edge.
For some reason, the audio recording is poor quality, but here’s a sample anyway to show the fun (it’s the encore, as performed at the Battersea Arts Centre):
