Photo Flash: Emerson College's DARLING Production Shots

Check out these production photographs from the developmental production of Ryan Scott Oliver and Brett Ryback's DARLING, A NEW MUSICAL which played at Emerson College's Semel Theater March 1 and 2.

Darling, with music and lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver, and book by B.T. Ryback, follows upper crust teenager Ursula Morgan in 1929 Boston as its society boils in the weeks before the Crash. Neglected by her excessive, self-absorbed parents, Ursula encounters Peter, a charming rent-boy of uncertain age, on the run from the Captain of Police who pursues him for a heinous crime he may or may not have committed. When she is offered the opportunity to run away with him, she takes it and finds herself swept into a seedy underground of jazz, sex and a mysterious white powder called Fairy Dust.
