The Song of the Nightingale - Tri-Valley
Repertory Theater Book, Music and Lyrics by Min Kahng. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Nightingale. When Mei Lin, an ambitious kitchen-maid, hears that the Emperor of China
is searching for the Nightingale, the bird whose song brings hope to the
people of the land, she offers to help find and capture the bird in exchange
for a lofty promotion. This transaction has tragic consequences, however, as
Mei Lin soon learns that the Emperor is a foolish ruler who cannot see
beyond the bird’s plain outer appearance. Song of the Nightingale is a
magical, musical romp that reminds us that true beauty and worth is always
found within. |
