About Oklahoma!
Much like the original, in Fish’s Oklahoma! arrogant cowboy Curly McLain and sinister farmhand Jud Fry go head to head for Laurey Williams’ devotion, in the hopes of being her plus one to the party. However, this story goes beyond the usual boy meets girl tale. Now stripped of its innocence, Oklahoma! is injected with a sense of reality and danger, which reflects the intimate darkness within. The themes of the original are now cloaked in gritty, sexual tension and psychological despair. Subjects such as sexual violence, sexism, gun violence and consent are represented through the characters as they struggle to define themselves in a claustrophobic, tightly-knit community, making Daniel Fish’s Oklahoma! the ultimate surreal, frontier nightmare.
The creatives of Oklahoma!
Oklahoma! contains music by Richard Rodgers, book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, with original choreography by Agnes de Mille. Daniel Fish acts as Director, whilst Daniel Kluger handles Orchestrations, Arrangements and Co-Music supervision, with John Heginbotham acting as Choreographer.
