SPOILER ALERT

What is the name of the song used at the end of the play? Is that Joni Mitchell?

Not sure, but I found the music used in this show to be very effective.

It's Sandy Denny's (from Fairport Convention) "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?"

Beautiful, isn't it? That song makes the scene so affecting.

What is the song Phaedra sings at the beginning of the 2nd Act?

I assumed Phaedra was singing the hymn after which the play is named...could be wrong though.

Here's all the tracks, again, Spoilers:

Jerusalem Hymn - William Blake (Phaedra's 1st Act Opener)
Invaders Must Die - The Prodigy (Rave scene)
Somebody Done Changed the Lock on My Door - Champion Jack Dupree (Record playing during Rooster's morning routine)
The Werewolf - Barry Dransfield (Phaedra's 2nd Act Opener)
Who Knows Where the Time Goes? - Sandy Denny (Phaedra/Rooster dance)

And I think Phaedra is continuing Jerusalem just before she exits the trailer in Act 3

Thank you!

That Sandy Denny song is so effective, so beautiful...

All of the songs were really really effective. Haunting, even. That beginning with Invaders Must Die was stunning. Some of the best use of music in a play I've ever seen, actually. On a slightly different note, I can't get this play out of my head.
