Neverland
Tom Nevers is an independent musician who, after signing a breakthrough contract, feels pressure from all sides—from his label, from his fans, from his band, and from himself—to deliver the perfect album.
In search of an unexplainable sound locked in his head, Tom leads his increasingly frustrated bandmates on a quixotic journey to every studio in London. Along for the ride, and adding pressure to an impossibly fast deadline, is Emily Walker, a journalist breathlessly covering the roller coaster recording sessions.
Faced with sky high expectations and an inability to cede control of any detail, the mercurial front man threatens to derail years of effort with his perfectionist nature.
This is a story about the intersection of art and commerce, unpredictable reverb, ice cream in Regent’s park, Catalonian inspiration, and beauty of music.
Light Drama. For fans of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere and Notting Hill. Full script available upon request.
