Ipso Facto
This brand new work of musical theatre brings together the respective satirical genius of two of the 18th century's most renowned social commentators: William Hogarth and Henry Fielding.
With text by Graham Baker and music by Neil Innes, the show draws on characters and incidents from Fielding's witty farce Rape upon Rape, or The Justice Caught In His Own Trap and re-invents them as Hogarthian moral archetypes, springing to vivid life in the imagination of the artist as he commences work a new set of 'moral fable' tableaux: The Rake's Return.
