“Apparently we have nine lives? You only one. Be good to it. Treat it kindly.”
The Outsider was commissioned by Skipton Camerata for Lockdown Diaries. The text by Kamal Kaan tells the true story of David, a resident of Yorkshire and victim of covid-19. Narrated from the viewpoint of the deceased’s pet cat, the musical characterisation features a nine-beat dance rhythm (similar to the Greek zeibekiko), a touch of dubstep and a nod in the direction of a certain West End musical.
