SCUNNER present:
The Sorry Tale of Subtraction Jack and His Lady Cadaver. - A story in song.
- The Art School, Glasgow - 17th September 2013
Subtraction Jack is a washed up, worthless bum.
It wasn't always that way - he tells anyone and everyone in seafront bars how he used to be king of the high seas. He raided the finest ships, killed the mightiest mythical beasts and lived the life of a champion.
The secret of his power was a silver gilded banjo, a gift from the gods. Whoever played it could command the power of a hundred heroes, and Jack did just that.
But then, at the height of his infamy. Jack met someone. Lady Cadaver was her name, and she was as cunning as she was beautiful. Hand in hand, they ruled the seven seas. Nothing was impossible.
One fateful day. the Lady and the banjo eloped into the night. She stole his all. Or did she?
