Songs for a New World is advertised as a musical and performed by musical theatre singers but it is very different from most musicals. The songs don’t tell a story (there is no dialogue). The singers don’t play the same characters every time they sing – sometimes they don’t play a character at all.

THE DIARY OF ONE WHO DISAPPEARED (Scottish Opera/Lammemuir Festival at the Theatre Royal Glasgow)****

The Diary of One Who Disappeared was filmed under social distancing guidelines and I think it’s a really good choice of repertoire. The cast is small, which makes it easier to social distance. It’s also only just over half an hour, which would be a much smaller risk than a piece of two hours or more.
