The UK premiere of Dave Malloy's Preludes opens tonight at Southwark Playhouse and production images have been released.

Based on the true story of Sergei Rachmaninoff's sessions of hypnotherapy, the production uses live piano and electronics and a hybrid of Malloy's and Rachmaninoff's own compositions to create a dreamlike world.
