Occidental College adjunct professor and well-known music composer Bruno Louchouarn created the musical score and sound design for the play, “The Good Book of Pedantry and Wonder,” which runs through August 29 at Pasadena’s Boston Court Theater.
Described as “a deliciously witty exploration of the very special misery only the smartest family members can inflict upon one another,” the play is set in 1880s Oxford, England, in a damp garden shed grandly called a “scriptorium.” The play is about wordsmith James Murray, the first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, his complicated relationships with his daughter, Jane, and his prodigal son, James, and the “Sisyphean task” of creating the OED, which now spans 20 volumes and is considered the authority on the evolution of the English language.
“The Good Book of Pedantry and Wonder” was written by British playwright Toby Pomerance and is co-produced by Los Angeles’s Circle X Theatre Company.
