Basin Street Blues
17 July - 8 August 2015
John Beaton
Directed by: Aarne Neeme
Synopsis
TONY’S music brings heartache and joy to everyone who comes to THE RISING SUN, a famous “Sporting House” (read Brothel). Working Girl PEARL is the one girl he wants to leave with tonight, but she is owned by FRANK “THE DUDE” a greedy and violent man.
BASIN STREET BLUES – with music and dance – tells the drama of these and other characters, in the few days before the famous Storyville district in this melting-pot city was closed. And music in the world changed forever.
