THE GREAT DIVIDE
Click to DonateWhen the world’s richest woman finally dies, her dysfunctional family gathers to see who gets which slice of the multi-billion dollar pie. What follows is a hilarious untangling of lies and betrayal.
That’s when a series of freaky surprises start to fall like a hailstorm of dominoes. A mysterious phone call from the last two people to see Frances alive during her final days of hospice care. An unexpected appearance by gonzo investigative journalist Nick Blank, who claims to be Granny Fanny’s bastard son. And an array of colorful characters who round out the ensemble and provide glimpses into the deep dysfunction of the McMann clan.
Writer/Director/Composer John Skipp has written a dozen songs and instrumental compositions for the score, singing and playing or programming almost all the instruments (electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, percussion, piano, organ, synthesizers, and digital brass and strings). Skipp's inspirations included jazz-inflected '60's caper film scores by Henry Mancini, as well as whiskey-soaked New Orleans gospel, '70's hippie folk rock, '90's riot grrrrl and electronic dance music, mirroring the wide range of age groups in this multi-generational saga.
