Orchestral Manoeuvres in E Minor...
If you can get through the first hour it's worth staying to the end, as success and love and friendships are all shattered and descend, as the people who helped make her come to terms with what she's done, the crescendo building slowly then exploding like a drum.
A familiar story through an original perspective, at its heart a breath taking central performance that will undoubtedly win many a reward and be recalled as one of her greatest, although the length of the production is excessive and, if you're not a fan of classical music it may temper your enjoyment, although I'm sure you'll be intrigued by the orchestral manoeuvres, both in the dark and the light.
