On one of his frequent visits to the woods, where he throws flowers on to odd mounds of earth, Rawley Beaunes unexpectedly encounters Iris singing. He angrily knocks her head off without a second thought. Back home, Rawley relaxes on the night of his 42nd birthday and reflects on his life. But The Green Man soon appears to hold Beaunes to account for killing Iris, as well as Poppy, Heather, Fern and Rose. Rawley's punishment: to see the world in all its depravity and darkness before the spectral Green Man returns him to normal life. But what will happen on Rawley's next trip to the woods?

The new opera introduces three mysterious characters: Rawley Beaunes, an enigmatic figure firmly rooted in thought and dress in the 1950s; the doomed Iris; and the ethereal Green Man. Gothic intensity blends with tender beauty in this gripping, ghostly tale where nothing is quite as it seems.Company Hebrides Ensemble. Director Martin Constantine. Musical Director William Conway.
