About the Project
Set entirely In The Great Room of the now shuttered Bed and Breakfast, The Hollyhock Inn, UNSEEN ANGELS tells a story of loss, rejection, bitterness, and redemption!
It is the story of SHELDON MARS, famous Broadway Composer/Lyricist/Creator who has locked himself away in The Hollyhock Inn, the B and B he built with his deceased life partner LOUIS. SHELDON has dropped out, vanished from the Broadway Scene, given up on life!
It is also the story of LOUIS, the now deceased life partner/lover mourned by SHELDON for more than seven years now. Unknown to SHELDON, but seen and heard by the audience, LOUIS’S spirit haunts the Inn and comments caustically on everything SHELDON does and says.
Their oddly cloistered existence goes undisturbed until a new visitor turns up at the Inn. AUDRIAN SMALL is a young Blogger who deeply admires the body of work created by SHELDON. She comes to the Inn hoping to interview the Great Man! AUDRIAN, as we discover , has demons of her own in her past which still haunt her.
After convincing SHELDON to grant her entrance to The Inn, AUDRIAN begins a quirky interview. It becomes a sparring match between the feisty young woman and a very sarcastic and defensive SHELDON. All of this is witnessed and commented on by the spirit of LOUIS, who is quite direct in his wry comments. It also becomes apparent that LOUIS is also very bitter about the past with SHELDON, the love of his life and the man whom he followed, worshiped, and gave all to!
Everything is fair game in this verbal confrontation, as old memories and painful secrets come out! Punctuated by ten (10) Musical Numbers which do as much to drive and move the story as the Book itself, the Play moves relentlessly to a very dramatic and cathartic conclusion. from the first Number of the Show, HOLLOW, to the Finale, and Title Number, UNSEEN ANGELS, the music and dialog lead us through a story which is all too real and which may just bring a catharsis in our own lives.
