Invisible Tears

"Essentially a love story, Invisible Tears also provides a thought provoking peek at the ways in which people hide their true feelings.(It) represents a new genre of musicals, that of sensitivity, intimacy, symbolism and imagery. Displaying a deep emotional relationship between the text and the music, Invisible Tears is a drama in music and movement"
(Chichester Festival Theatre)
