The obious contemporary relevance is made clear in this exciting new stage adaptation by Leo Benedict. Filled with live and evocative jazz music from the twenties, this production recreates the glitz and decadence of the period. The tense and absorbing drama is played out to its dramatic climax by a cast of five actors fast-paced, visually evocative and highly theatrical.
