| Synopsis: | 1900 is the story of a great jazz pianist who is found as a newborn baby on a transatlantic ship on the first day of the twentieth century and is baptised thus. 1900 is a man without parents, nationality or identity. Never setting foot ashore, his home is the sea and his language is the music he plays on the ship's piano. The other character in the story, the Narrator, recreates the atmosphere on the ship, 1900's peculiar childhood, 1900's decision to leave the ship and their meeting after the Second World War on the ship, which is about to be blown up, with 1900 on it. | |||||
