Ten Plagues – A Song Cycle

[2] The production is a song cycle duet for voice and piano and was written by Mark Ravenhill with music by Conor Mitchell.

[4] The CD was released as a double digipak and came with a DVD of the live stage show filmed at Wilton's Music Hall.

The Financial Times review by Ludovic Hunter-Tilney finds the libretto "routine" and calls the piano score "atonal", summarising that "the results fall flat".

[8] Neil Gardner of The Times liked it better, naming it "grimly fascinating" calling the piano score "barreling", whilst "versatile" Almond's vocals are "soaring".

[7] David Sheppard writes in the Mojo review that "Almond tackles often tricky, convoluted melodies with great gusto" but closes by stating that accompanying live DVD "makes more sense".
