Description
An inquiry into the orchestra conductors, choral conductors, and theatrical directors, who produced the entertainment in the Thailand hospital and relocation camps, culminates in an in-depth profile of the controversial “Maestro” Leo Britt that looks not only at his abilities as an acting coach, and his rehearsal techniques, but his crowning achievement: the formation of The Chungkai Repertory Company.
