The PROUST PROJECT
A new musical
Music and Lyrics by Nate Weida Book by Salty Brine
In the darkest depths of the pandemic two roommates find themselves trapped together in a cramped Brooklyn apartment, slowly going out of their minds.
In an attempt to keep themselves sane… or, perhaps, allowing themselves to slip further into madness… they begin to read, out loud to one another, Swann’s Way; The first book of Marcel Proust’s masterwork, In Search of Lost Time.
What transpires is a strange, and twisted musical telling of the life of Mssr. Swann… of his love and his longing for that dazzling jewel of the demimonde, Odette De Crécy… and of the timid and fragile Proust himself as he remembers all that came before.
Salty teams up with long-time collaborator Nate Weida on a new musical that dares to take on what is considered one of the most difficult (and one of the most breathtaking) reads in all of literature.
