Dawn Again: A Rap Opera

One man, two girlfriends, their midwife & a politician – a rap opera

Government special adviser Elliot has a problem - his two girlfriends are giving birth on the same day in the same hospital. To keep his infidelities a secret, he needs the reluctant support of overworked midwife, Liz, but things are much more complicated than even Elliot can imagine.

Fast-paced, farcical & hilariously funny, with every line rapped, Dawn Again is a unique theatrical experience.


Written by Claudio Elliston, aka Cloudy Clouds, a rapper who was inspired to create a hip hopera for the stage after the success of his short rap opera for the screen, Uber Pool.

A finalist in the 2022 LET (Les Enfants Terribles) Awards for "exceptional emerging work", Dawn Again is directed by his sister, Rafaela Elliston. Actor & theatre-maker Rafaela explains: “My job is to take Claudio’s witty lyrics & zany ideas and to use clever set design, creative choreography & the audience’s imagination to put together a mixed-up, modern-day farce for fringe theatre.”
