Disclamer

Kindly note the contents in this book are not suitable for children under the age of 13 years old unless under strict parental supervision. Explicit contents, violence, nudity, strong or vulgar language. Some illustrations may be disturbing. All characters, events and stories depicted in this play are fictions. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. In this regard the author expresses respect to the victims of rape, their emotions, feelings and their families by portraying the plays as rays of hope. My intention is not to use tragedy for commercial purposes or romanticizing rape or glorifying violence but to expose it through publishing it as musical play, short film, musical videos and album or plays or as a book. My apologies in advance to the British or anyone who has studied English with passion. I intentionally and creatively twisted the English language beyond elementary vocabulary like the Jamaicans did with patois or Nigerians with pidgin English but I did it subtly.

Quotable quotes

There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild and flawless- Plato, The Republic.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. –Carl Jung (founder of analytical psychology)

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.- Carl Jung

A man with no imagination has no wings –Nassir Jones (Nas)

Societies are basically macrocosms (big versions) of people, only instead of people, only instead of consciousness a society’s upstairs is order, and its basement is chaos" .Whereas the health of an individual depends on the ego’s regular descent and return to and from the unconscious, a society’s longevity depends on actual people journeying into the unknown and returning with ideas. Like people, societies become neurotic and can eventually break down when they make the mistake of thinking the downstairs shouldn’t exist–Dan Harmon

The music is a relentless engine that keeps the lyrics going. –Stephen Sondheim.

Listen to everything! –Sheldon Harnick (who in his 80s, spoke about learning about Rap & Hip Hop)

Lyric writing is more a craft than an art. – Stephen Sondheim

The art of writing music cannot really be taught, but it can be learned – by writing.  -Maury Yeston

Writing music is not something you do, it's something you are...You think in music.  – Maury Yeston

The first lyric the audience hears, the first song, is really what makes or breaks a show.  –Oscar Hammerstein

Those who caused yesterday’s pain cannot control tomorrow’s potential- T.B.Joshua

All men fall, the great ones get back up - T.B.Joshua

Prologue :

Carmen: A Hip Hopera is a 2001 American musical romantic drama television film produced by MTV and directed by Robert Townsend. It is based upon the 1875 opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, Ludovic Halevy and Henri Meilhac. The film is set in Philadelphia and Los Angeles in modern times and features a mostly hip-hop-/R&B score in place of Bizet’s opera. This film is my inspiration and my hope that hip hopera becomes a highly popular or commercially viable genre. Hip Hopera meaning the fusion of hip hop music with opera. Carmen: A Hip Hopera was renounced as the first hip hop musical. In 1994, Kyle Baker directed an animated video featuring the hip hop artist KRS-One, called Break the Chain. Marvel Comics had published Break the Chain as a comic book packaged with a read along hip hop audio cassette. Kyle John Baker (born 1965) is a multi-award winning American cartoonist, comic book writer artist known for his graphic novels.

There are several standard formats for musical theatre but this one is written in a freestyle format and
