Johnny’s Midnight Goggles Trilogy

“The One, the Holy Grail of the Brighton Festival. magical, theatrical genius.”

– Brighton Magazine on Johnny’s Midnight Goggles.

Johnny’s Midnight Goggles, Finkelstein’s Castle and Brian And The Angel form a trilogy of tongue in cheek one man shows for singer/actor, conceived, written and composed by Pete M Wyer.

The excerpt you can hear is from Johnny’s Midnight Goggles, read by actor/bass-baritone Jeremy Milner

How It All Began:

“Johnny’s Midnight Goggles began on a balcony in the south of France, when I looked up one day and saw a mysterious black camel in the nearby sports field, which soon disappeared. A little later, after they let me out of the psychiatric ward, I wrote down my experiences and set them to music and gave them to actor/singer Matthew Sharp, I hoped he wouldn’t discover the bomb-carrying dwarves on page 4 until after I’d departed…. to my amazement, both he, and director/producer Bill Banks-Jones enjoyed this brand of insanity – I spent a further four weeks, holed up, writing – just me and that black camel – and eventually emerged with a completed script and score.”

Watch out for the upcoming production of Johnny’s Midnight Goggles with actor and bass baritone, Jeremy Milner. Coming soon!

Johnny’s Midnight Goggles was premiered at the Brighton Festival, 2008 with Matthew Sharp, as a SharpWire/Tete a Tete co-production supported by Brighton Festival and Caravan.

The sequel, Finkelstein’s Castle, also written and composed by Pete, was premiered at the Brighton Festival, 2009.

The third part of the trilogy, Brian And The Angel, is currently in development by Pete.
