Martin Butler (b.1960)Libretto by Stephen Pruslin
"Overflows with ideas and situations which find fulfilment in an easily accessible score which at times seems to be a musical Tom Stoppard - the references come so thick and fast. There is wit in both text and score, with allusions to both Puccini and Wagner, though the rainbow at the end comes from Britten not the Ring Cycle! And all of this without any hint of pastiche or simply filling time with good ideas." - Musical Opinion, 1994
