Following on from our last Fringe TheatreFest play, 'The Ghost Of Thornwood Junction', by Jay Moore, Black Box Theatre are delighted to be back this year with a new play from Jay called, 'Muse'.

'Muse' is a play exploring the relationships between an artist, his model, his business partner and the model's boyfriend. Muse is a contemporary piece examining art and the art market and a possible role for 'the Muse' in our time. By tradition going all the way back to the Greeks, the 'Muse' - invariably female - acted as some kind of inspiration for the work of the artist - invariably male. How the 'Muse' performed this feat is something of a mystery since her role was usually passive and uninvolved in the production of the art. Could such a relationship exist today? Unlikely and certainly not to be wished for, so how might a Muse/Artist relationship play out in our time? Jay, from Black Box, considered some possibilities and 'Muse' tells the story of one of them.
