My name is Adam Pennington is a music student at Goldsmiths University London and an aspiring Musical Theatre Writer. He is looking for a book writer/ liberttist to work with him on the following project:
“I’m currently working on a musical song cycle based on the 1970 Miss World contest. It’s a story of race, gender and aspiration that it still surprisingly relevant to the modern day. I’m looking for a book writer/liberttist who would want to write this small show/song cycle with me.
1970 saw the first Black Miss World in history which makes it a pivotal point in black history, feminism and the women’s liberation movement (who flour bombed the stage half way through the live televised broadcast of Miss World 1970).
Due to the subject matter of the story, I think that a black female writer would be best suited to this project, hopefully to provide a more authentic interpretation of the story and it’s relevance to modern society.”
