The Musicians by Patrick Marber
The orchestra of Ridley Road, a state school, is to give a concert in Moscow at the European Festival of Youth, playing Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony before an audience of cultural bigwigs. But their instruments have been impounded by Customs due to the foolishness of Second Flute. Luckily, Alex, the Russian boy who cleans the hall, is a devout Pinball Wizard fan who comes up with a plan that saves everyone. Written as a result of the National Theatre's new writing programme for teenagers, it was performed in the Cottesloe Theatre in 2004.
Patrick Marber's The Musicians is a delight.. Both the solution to the concert problem and its next-morning coda are inspired instances of pure theatre. Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times
