Following on from their previous successes Distortion Fever is back with a new dark, topical, Wagnerian, humorous and brutal musical offering, TYRANNO.

Has art been politicised? Is the Western Canon still valid? Do ideologies make people vile? Tyranno explores these questions and the clashing perspectives of modern society.

Controversial internet personality Tyranno Frei has been invited to talk at a university. As the commencement of his lecture looms, crowds of students begin protesting outside the auditorium. One of his old professors, Professor Dio, is worried that the crowd may start a riot. Will the mob be satisfied if Gratia, the students' fiery representative, is allowed to debate Tyranno? Tyranno is a music-drama about Western Art, Free Speech, offensive language and power.

TYRANNO is  written, produced and directed by Ludwig van Distortion and Coco Grainger (Distortion Forever) [Facebook] .  It will play at Erskineville Town Hall from August 3rd to18th.  Tickets at Ticketebo. The Guide also has reviews of their previous shows, SMASH HITS AND STEREOTYPES  and SOMEWHERE ELSE TODAY.
