Big Telly Theatre Company presented the new musical The Haunting of Helena Blunden by award-winning writer and composer Paul Boyd and novelist and playwright Bernie McGill on tour across Ireland in February and March 2010, directed for the stage by Zoˆ´ Seaton. A derelict Belfast linen mill forms the backdrop for Paul Boyd and Bernie McGill’Äôs chilling new musical. 80-year-old Maggie and 20-something Susan find themselves trapped in a twisted family saga where myth and reality seem confused, where past and present seem to co-exist. Two songs from the show, ’ÄòInvisible’Äô and ’ÄòCut Above The Rest’Äô, were considered for the 2010 Stiles & Drewe Prize for Best Song from a New Musical. ’ÄòCut Above The Rest’Äô was named as a finalist and was performed by Sondheim Performer of the Year finalist Jane Horn at The Queen's Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue on 6th June.
