about

We've Come to Take You Home is inspired by Benjamin Britten’s Opera “Peter Grimes”. Peter Grimes is the social outcast of the small fishing village in which he lives.

At the end of the opera, a person says “Peter, we’ve come to take you home”, and they convince him to commit suicide by sinking his boat. That haunting line, paired with my memories of elementary school alienation provided me with more than enough material for this twisted piece.
