Synopsis: | A play in two acts; comedy; poet William Butler Yeats, poet,metaphysician Denis Saurat, and theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky gather in a surreal setting for a serious purpose. The first act takes place in a suburb of London in the spring of 1891, at the home of a leader in the spiritualism movement at that time. The second act takes place in a padded cell in a private clinic for the mentally abberant where Angel is being assessed for a possible release. The evaluation sets out to prove whether she is possessed by mediumship or divinely inspired. | |||||

Synopsis: | Storyville was an actual place, a red-light district within New Orleans, and its story is part of American history. All activity therein was legalized to contain sin in one tidy spot. Councilman Story had the dubious honour of having the sporting area named after him. If Storyville was a place it was also people, - musicians, barmen, croupiers, hookers, madams and the men who frequented the establishments. Storyville was born in 1887 and in 1917, when America declared war on Germany it died with the mass exodus of 20,000 people employed in the area, - the biggest mass exodus in American history. This is the climactic moment at the end of our show and the beginning of the journey of Jazz throughout America. Jazz goes north to Chicago in a tidal wave of music where it combines the black and white brothers like the keys on an old upright. | |||||
