The Drunkard

For Jane

Acknowledgements

The Drunkard, after the melodrama by W.H. Smith and A Gentleman, is indebted to Fifteen Years of a Drunkard’s Life by Douglas Jerrold; and for lines, freely used, from ‘Let The Toast Pass’ by R.B. Sheridan in Scene Two Act Two. Songs: the lullaby, ‘Child and Mother’ is by H.A.J. Campbell and Eugene Field; ‘O Kisses They are Plenty’ (anonymous); ‘Down Among the Dead Men’ is by Dyer; ‘Soft Music is Stealing’ is by F. Pax.

Additional music

Additional, original music for the premiere of The Drunkard was composed and performed live by Ellen Cranitch and Helene Montague. It included some set pieces – the wedding scene, the tavern scenes and the final ‘hymn’. Extensive underscoring was also used almost continuously – this was devised in response to the rhythm of language, and the actions and interactions of the characters.
