'A PIANO PLAYER FELL IN LOVE. IMAGINE THE MUSIC…

'An epic love story spanning three generations, The Song Was Wrong is a tale of hope, memory, and redemption, with an evocative and original score, transforming the Studio Underground into a rich and layered world.

'This highly visual and physical work tells the story of a Pianist and the woman he loves and loses, changing his life forever. From their instant attraction and passionate love affair, the characters they meet, the decisions they make and how their lives are forever entwined.

'Exploring love, art and the relationship between a musician and his muse, The Song Was Wrong is an original work written by Perth Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Melissa Cantwell. Teaming with some of WA’s best artists, Perth Theatre Company’s The Song Was Wrong spins a tale that will seduce even the hardest of hearts.' (Production summary)
