Ghost Quartet
By Dave Malloy

Music Directed by Nick Kasssoy

A musical song cycle about love, death and whiskey. A camera breaks and four friends drink in four interwoven narratives spanning several centuries: a warped fairy tale about two sisters, a treehouse astronomer, and a lazy evil bear; a retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher; a purgatorial intermezzo about Scheherazade and the ghost of Thelonious Monk; and a contemporary fable about a subway murder.
