Wiccamica - The Masque Wiccamica was put on by the students of Winchester College in 1961. Although now best described as a musical, it was more accurately a ‘masque’, with progressive scenes and tableaux illustrating the history of Winchester College; the format was in an older theatrical tradition than that of the opera or musical. Although the production was titled "Wiccamica", it has always been known as just "The Masque". The book contains the full text of this witty libretto, together with articles, background information and nearly thirty black & white plates. Includes a companion CD (see below) |
