A BRIEF NIGHT OUT -- A ROCK OPERA by MARLA MASE
A BRIEF NIGHT OUT -- a rock opera
Written and performed by Marla Mase
with the Tomás Doncker Band
A Brief Night Out is Marla's Mase's rock-n-roll fairytale of a modern-day middle-aged woman who apparently has it all: ?a husband, 2 kids, a business, friends and yet she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and obsessing on war. ?She embarks on an affair with the man of her dreams and discovers a self (for better or for worse) that has long remained hidden. It's a mid-life rock-n-roll crisis!!!!
"(Marla Mase) is poetry & music & art & imagination - Theatrical rock that walks the walk & talks. Patti Smith would be proud. Her band was the best band at the festival -- absolute superb performance. She's a big apple/whole earth magic goddess with a cosmic class band. WOW WOW WOW. Brought me back to life after an 18 hour day, no sleep, no pay but music that lives in me still." (ian bruce, producer of Community 2: Lehigh Valley Music Festival)
"Marla Mase is eclectic, edgy, sexy, intelligent & provocative. Her music, lyrics & theatrical performance style have often been compared to Patti Smith, David Byrne, Henry Rollins, Iggy Pop & even Frank Zappa. ?Except she's none of those. She's MASE, fearless raw theatrical rock-n-roll with TRUE GROOVE."
"One word: FEARLESS! Raw EnigmaticUnapologeticUnique. So, maybe One word is not enough to describe the "experience" that is Marla Mase. How is one expected to explain what I call: THE MARLA MASE EXPERIENCE? You can't. It is equal ?parts: rock, rap, Broadway, monologue, Lilith Fair, blues, & dare I, a rocker chick"
A. Bronwyn Sheehan, reallygreatmagazine.com <http://reallygreatmagazine.com> (Feb 22, 2011) <http://www.reallygreatmagazine.com>
"Ms. Mase's music and stories will take you by the hand and lead you on a tour that is, at times, filled with ideas of romance and love straight off the proverbial movie screen; to fear, passion, and reality that will ?sometimes haul off and punch you in the gut with brutal honesty. ?Whether love her or hate her, Marla Mase will be the voice inside your ?head screaming at you to stand tall in the face of adversity." Tom Ski, newsblaze.com <http://newsblaze.com> (Mar 18, 2011)
"Marla Mase sneaks in a closing song to end all endings in 2011 and beyond. Her song, That Wall (from her rock opera A Brief Night Out) is soulful, socio-political and solid to the core. ?A mere glimpse into the genius of this emerging artist. "
