Featuring the "soon-to-be-a-hit-single"

YOU WERE RIGHT

Rik and Dave, two musician/songwriters, get together in an intimate auditorium to write a song for an up-and-coming pop-rock diva's soon-to-be-released breakthrough album. Rik is the diva's boyfriend/guitarist. Dave is her ex-boyfriend/guitarist.

The air is rife with the tension of their history. The stakes are high, and as each composer struggles to be a 'gentleman', the song becomes a battlefield upon which they act out their sexual jealousy, professional rivalry, gender-political philosophies, and mutual sympathies in the fight for creative control. Each lyric they write, each note they choose, each chord they craft to accompany their singer's 'voice' becomes a blow or a parry in a classic duel of secret-sharing 'doubles' that is by turns comical, compassionate, and chilling.

Othello meets Spinal Tap in this rare example of realistic 'musical theatre' as That Boy explores the eternal struggle to be good when things are going badly; the possibility of using our dark side constructively; and the prospect of learning to surrender gracefully the things of the past.
