Zurich English-Speaking Theatre (ZEST) - Your Community for English Theatre in Zurich

The Frankenstein music is really coming alive! Let's build on the fantastic sound we've created together as we head into our third choir session this Thursday, October 9th, starting at 19:30. Again, the session will take place at the Theater im Seefeld (in Seminar EG).

This week, we'll be focused on learning the final piece and polishing everything to get prepped for the all-important recording session on the 23rd. The arrangements are sounding brilliant, and this is a key week for locking down the details, so come ready to sing!

Printed sheet music will be available at the session.

Beau Willimon’s political thriller follows a young, idealistic press secretary, Stephen Bellamy, as he navigates the cutthroat world of a presidential primary campaign. Bellamy's promising career takes a sharp turn when he becomes entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal, and manipulation. The play delves into the moral compromises and ethical dilemmas faced by those in the political machine. It's a gripping story that questions ambition, loyalty, and the true cost of power. Will Bellamy survive the backstabbing world of politics or will he be another casualty of the game?

“THERE’S SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE. I HEAR IT EVERY NIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME”
Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with
their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again?
Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is
getting closer, so they’re going to stay up… until 2:22… and then they’ll know.

It's the moment we've been working towards! This Thursday, October 23rd, marks our fourth and final session - and it's the day we record our music for Frankenstein. We can’t wait to hear the incredible sound we’ve created together captured for the project!

Please arrive promptly so we can make the most of our time and ensure a great recording.

Printed sheet music will be available at the session.

Details to follow

This thrilling adaptation uses only five actors to bring some of Dickens' most beloved characters to life. From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mrs. Fezziwig, Barlow's A Christmas Carol uses nothing more than some simple props, fresh physicality, and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption. Witness Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in this highly theatrical adaptation.
