Details

A 21st century 'remixed' version. Inspired by Puccini's La Boheme Larson's original musical updated the plot to early 1990's New York where a community of East End squatters battled to fulfil their aspirations against the reality of rent demands and AIDS. Baker's version has been pruned down to a running time of just over two hours, with some Americanisms excised and references to HIV therapies updated.
