On Stage

FALLS

World Premiere Musical Theater
Music and Lyrics by Andrew Small, Book by Anthony George
February 16 - March 13, 2005

Atop the Skylon Tower, high above Niagara Falls, a young woman is threatening to emulate Blondin’s famous wirewalking feat.

Waiting anxiously below, her husband and her mother begin to reveal her story - a story echoed by those of three exceptional men. Electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla, endurance swimmer Captain Matthew Webb and controversial mystic Lobsang Rampa, each of whose lives were consummated in some way at the Falls.

The piece reveals how and why she arrived at this crisis, which is itself echoed by parallel crises in lives of the complementary characters.

Challenging, fantastical and multi-layered, FALLS builds into a poignant yet uplifting exploration of those who strive for greater things, and of what happens when they are achieved.
