Description
Katchor and Mulcahy's new sung-through pop-musical chronicles the life and times of Abe Rosenbach, the world's preeminent rare-book dealer in the first half of the last century and his brother Philip, a savvy dealer of decorative arts. Their collection ranges from James Joyce's manuscript of Ulysses to John Tenniel's original illustrations for Alice in Wonderland.
Mixing projected animated images with live actors, singers and musicians, the show explores such issues as the obsessive nature of collecting, the relationship between cultural and commercial pursuits and the men's historical significance as the owners of some of the world's greatest literary treasures.
