THE DREAM ROOM BY RACHEL NAPARSTEK
Written during lockdown, Rachel was inspired by the isolation she was feeling. The Dream Room is a semi-autobiographical musical featuring original music and lyrics. In her room, Rachel dreams and interacts with multiple characters including The Queen, Patrick Swayze and Freddie Mercury. Each character inspires her to fight back against the dreaded Coronavirus (a villain who torments her within her room). The Dream Room features epic dream sequences (including an escape to Hollywood) and ultimately encourages us to follow our dreams.
