The Plot WE WILL ROCK YOU - BSAK PRODUCTION 2019
The story is set in an unspecified, vaguely Orwellian future. Earth’s name has been changed to Planet Mall and mainstream commercial conformity reigns. Everywhere on the planet, people watch the same movies, listen to computer-generated music, wear the same clothes and hold the same thoughts and opinions. Musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown. All are controlled by the Worldwide megacorporation Globalsoft, which is headed by the “Killer Queen” and the commander of her secret police, the evil Khashoggi. Those who dare to stand against Globalsoft’s enforced conformity are kidnapped and “brain stormed” into submission. However, a small group of “Bohemians” struggles to restore the free exchange of thought, fashion, and (most of all) live music. As with the classic quest stories that it spoofs, the musical includes both a Messiah figure, the social outcast Galileo Figaro, and a MacGuffin that will restore freedom, the lost guitar of Queen guitarist, Brian May. Together with his love interest, another dissident whom Galileo calls Scaramouche, Galileo joins with the Bohemians to find the guitar, and overthrow Globalsoft.
Played for laughs, there is very little ‘real story’ to We Will Rock You but as you will discover it provides a framework for our super talented cast of students to perform covers of Queen’s greatest hits. BSAK students have excelled once again, showing commitment, determination and talent and it has been enormous fun to work with them throughout the term. We are also truly thankful to the whole production team for their hard work behind the scenes making this performance possible. Kathryn Mayall, Sarah Noray, Sascha Dallas
