A trailer for Cocteau in the Underworld.

William Reynolds, designer and video maker for the forthcoming Grimeborn Festival production of Cocteau in the Underworld, has put together a fabulous trailer for the opera which is now available for viewing on vimeo.

For anyone who’s interested in knowing a bit more about CITU, here’s an article written by the show’s producer, Heather Doole, running in The List.

Cocteau in the Underworld, music by Ed Hughes, words by me, will be performed in a double bill with Philip Glass’s opera of Cocteau’s Les Enfants Terribles, in this year’s Grimeborn Festival on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 August.

Director is Poppy Burton-Morgan, with design and video by William Reynolds.
