THE STORY:
When our protagonist finishes his History degree, but fails to obtain a job or have any life prospects, he is forced to move back into the shrine of his childhood decorated by his mother. Despondent at what he sees as total failure, he makes the only choice he feels he has left and ends up in a dream-like limbo where the musical truly begins. Our protagonist dreams that he is Pippin, the son of the great Emperor, King Charlemagne. The dream opens with Pippin having returned home from college. As the dream continues he searches to find his own “extraordinary
life” through murder, seeing his dead grandmother, and experimenting with new sexual exploits. But his true ending is nothing compared to what he had imagined.
