The Ancient Mariner




Coleridge's epic poem was
given an unconventional
treatment and was performed
by a cast drawn from years
seven, eight, nine and ten with
music byThe Trigger Hippies.

The play was directed by
Randall Lewton
So this is a swound !
You have done a hellish thing !


" O Mariner, you have killed the bird
That makes the breeze to blow! "
" It had been strange, even in a dream
To have seen those dead men rise"
Zombie sailor
The bird that brought the fog and mist
" Instead of the cross, the albatross
About my neck was hung"
" The dead men stood together. "
More zombie sailors
The ancient mariner rocks
" Fear at my heart, as at a cup
My life-blood seemed to sip !"

" There was a ship !"
I have strange power of speech
The Trigger Hippies
The Trigger Hippies
" As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean."
Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink !
Poetry expert
" Archaic language "
" It grew wondrous cold "
Shiver me timbers !
 What loud uproar !
" May'st hear the merry din "
He played the loud bassoon
It was actually a guitar
