Name: Whitefriars Lane by Rhys Davies
Duration: 2 min 50 s
Description: Written for the theatre play No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre. The lyric is contained within the text and my job in 1999 was to write a melody. I recorded a quick demo at the time so the actress could learn the song. I've re-recorded it to celebrate Jeremy Corbyn's election to Labour leader. The song is about the French Revolution, so it seemed apt.

Hi Rhys, I am currently working on a shortened adaption of No Exit within a college absurdist theatre festival. I was wondering if possible, would I be able to use this recording in our production?

Hi Rhys Davies, my name is Austin Jennings. I am college student directing No Exit for an Honors Project in collaboration with my school's student theatre club. I'd love to use your rendition of Whitefriars Lane in my production. Would I be able to? We will have one public performance this December 9th and since this production is for educational purposes, we will not be charging any admission. Please let me know either way. Thank you!

Hello! I am also putting together a production of No Exit and would love for the actress playing Inez to use your background music to learn the melody along with the lyrics. I don't think the music would be used during the show, it would strictly be for learning purposes. However, I would be more than happy to give you a credit in the program. Please let me know. Thanks!

5 short movements. Texts (one by me the other a poem by Emily Dickinson)explore being present in a moment even if that moment is a difficult one.
