Raymond Longford

 

Unwanted man

This song gives us an insight into Raymond Longford's inner life. He once believed that he would acheive great things, but is he now too old to still believe?

  
Lottie Lyell

Love go

Longford and Lottie have started to make movies together, and the heat of their shared genius is growing rapidly into attraction. But Longford is an older, married man, and demure, religious Lottie would never do anything immoral - would she?

Silent film audience

Did it at the flicks

The big finish to Act 1! Lottie and Longford's first film opens and is an immediate blockbuster. Australian audiences - and audiences worldwide - have never seen anything like this before.

 

Sydney wharves

Best part of day

Moving towards the climax of Act 2 now, we find Longford alone on the Sydney wharves at dawn. Lottie is sick with TB, and their latest film, "The Sentimental Bloke", has been shut out of cinemas by a ruthless competitor. The darkest moment, before the dawn....

 

Silent song

The Silent Song

The end of the show...and the final tragic duet between Lottie and Longford.
