Little Fiend Musical teaser trailer

Announcing the first ever performance showcase of my new musical, Little Fiend: Claire Clairmont & Lord Byron's Scandalous Year Without A Summer www.youtube.com/@LittleFiendMusical Monday 30th October 2023 Words and Music by Scott Bramley & Sam Williams. It's 1816, 'the year without a summer', and Claire Clairmont is in hot pursuit of Lord Byron, the most famous poet of the age. Driven by a desire for fame, can she navigate her way between ambition and desire? Accompanied by her sister, Mary Shelley, and the poet, Percy Shelley, they find Byron holed up in a villa on the shores of Lake Geneva, in self imposed exile having fled England under a cloud of scandal. With him is his personal physician, Dr John Polidori, himself a budding writer, desparate to ingratiate himself to the poet. Confined to the Villa Diodati by constant storms, Byron challenges them all to write a ghost story of their own, with the first literary seeds of Frankenstein and Dracula (The Vampyre) emerging. And so the complex and unstable relationships of this notorious group of travellers unfold. Claire's own ambitions grow but she's soon to discover that associations with fame come with a price.
