The Book of Sebastien
An Original Musical
Workshop, Late Summer 2018
Spain, 1937: A volatile period of Civil War. As the front descends upon his hometown, Sebastien, a mischievous young Jesuit with a thirst for adventure, sets off to discover life on his own terms. His search is challenged by an eccentric ferryman, a rebel band of socialists, and a nation grappling with its uncertain future. Based on the classic novel Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, The Book of Sebastien is a sweeping exploration of passion, consequence, and how we define God in a modern world.
