Joshua Oppenheimer is the writer, director and producer of The End a musical set 20 years after environmental apocalypse.
He has a more complicated relationship to musicals: he loves them as well as loathes them.
The End is set in a lavishly appointed bunker hidden in a salt mine.
It soon becomes clear that these songs performed as live for verisimilitude are delusory.
“The End” is in cinemas now [See also: Paul Brady ’s songs of conflict].
