Delightful as always.  I look forward to the dress rehearsal shots with atmospheric lighting

So do I! Most plays and musicals start from a complete script and score. Here they are working through it, scene by scene, trying different actions and choreography to fit the music, or rewriting the music to add extra time or cut it. Each cast member has drafted a 'concept' for a scene, and the rehearsals consist in going through them agreeing what works and what doesn't (subject to the overall decision of the company boss/director). There will be virtually no set (or rather, the set will be created by the performers, as in this case, making a gothic chair), and limited costume beyond black, so the whole story has to be conveyed believably by a limited cast through co-ordinated movement and expressions. I know the lighting designer, and I expect the lighting to be superb. The composer, who is playing just the keyboard in rehearsal, is simultaneously orchestrating it for the group who will play for the performance.
