For other uses, see Jabberwocky (disambiguation). ''Jabberwocky'', an adult pantomime by Andrew Kay, Malcolm Middleton and Peter Phillips,〔 〕 is a musical based on the English poem of the same name by Lewis Carroll. The music, book and lyrics are by Malcolm Middleton, Andrew Kay and Peter Philips, with additional material by Robert Kay and by many members of the original cast. The plot takes the form of a quest, in which the Son searches for the Jabberwock and ultimately kills it. Jabberwocky was originally presented at the Union Theatre, Sydney University, in March, 1973.〔 == Background == The show was originally conceived by Malcolm Middleton OAM and Peter Phillips—both architecture students and members of Sydney University Musical Society at the time—as a stage play set design exercise accompanied by a structure for the play and two songs. It is set in a mythical, unnamed village and forest. With the exception of the Squire and the Lady, the characters are taken from the poem—slithy toves, Jubjub Bird, and the like—and none of them have names. Even the principal character is known only as "Son". Other plot elements also are derived from mentions in the poem, such as the vorpal sword and the tumtum tree, and words like manxome and frumious are casually used by characters in their dialogue. Because of the mythical nature of the scenario, there is considerable scope for designers of sets and costumes to use imagination. It was a major production of the inaugural Come Out Youth Arts Festival, Adelaide, 1975. It has since become popular with high schools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jabberwocky (musical)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
