" A Drop In The Ocean" If you take a job as a piano-entertainer on a cruise ship, and haven’t taken the trouble to learn “Love on the Rocks” by Neil Diamond, it’s only a matter of time before the passengers throw you overboard. Obviously. This is the fate that befalls the Poet in Dave Anderson’s Tir na nOg, winner of Best New Musical in Edinburgh in 2007, and described as “The First Magical Realism musical” by – somebody. Actually it was Keith Bruce in the Herald. This companion piece, A Drop in the Ocean, tells the story of what happens to her down there, the creatures she meets, the improbable adventures, the songs she learns, the information she gleans about the Lost City of Atlantis, etc. A Drop in the Ocean is the latest in a series of “through-sung”, “boutique” - and various other pretentious adjectives - musicals from the pen of Anderson and the Oran Mor. Great tunes, grand laughs, profound silliness.’ Dave Anderson has worked as an actor, musician and musical director for numerous Scottish theatres companies including 7:84 and Wildcat, with whom he toured music theatre round the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. His songs for The Steamie are being performed (somewhere) right now! He has collaborated on several one-man shows with David MacLennan including 47, Barking and Stardust. Film credits include: Gregory's Girl, Heavenly Pursuits, Post Mortem and Orphans. On television Dave is best known for his long running BBC sit-com City Lights. He has also made appearances on Taggart, Rab C. Nesbit, Monarch of the Glen and many other shows. Two of Dave’s previous shows for Oran Mor, A Walk in the Park and Tir na nOg, (the prequel and sequel respectively, to Flowers of the River) were performed at the Edinburgh Festival last year to critical acclaim, with Tir na nOg winning the MTM:UK Dress Circle Award for Best New Musical.
