THE BROOM - A Musical Play in Two Acts

A musical play in two acts based on Cinderella. The central theme of this musical is that which becomes so much a part of someone, however insignificant its nature, is recognised as possessing the qualities of the said person’s soul. It is only love that matters, for without it we die. Only love can recognise love: thus it is love that brings about the understanding that the broom and its owner are one and the same. In THE BROOM the Fairy Godmother is God, and, having given a chance, begs for its safe deliverance: not demanding of it, for love cannot fight, it is not in its nature to do so. The reduction by one of the number of the Chorus is significant: also the refusal of the Crowd to believe unless it sees with its own eyes. Forgiveness is featured too, though noticeably not by the wrongdoers but by the maltreated.
