KILLY WILLY

A MUSICAL UPRISING

WRITTEN BY ELIZA SMITH   MUSIC BY MONA FYFE   DIRECTED BY ZOE MARIN

In the beginning there was nothing. A blank void in space without time, without depth, without life. 

Then there was…

Earth. 

And with the creation of the sea came the creation of the shit in the sea.

…Fish and shit.

An entire wet, legless animal kingdom living just beneath the waves.

And so as it is in every kingdom there can only be one ruler.

The lion is king in Africa. The panda is the Dragon Warrior of ancient China. And the mutant tortoises rule the sewers of New York City.

But the ocean, well the oceans' very own wet, tubby, Mufasa is none other than…

The Whale.

'Killy Willy' is the Second Runner Up for Toronto Fringe's Adams Prize for Musical Theatre 

​

It was first developed under our 2024 Playwriting Roundtable and has since received funding from Toronto Fringe, and the Ontario Arts Council.
