Details

The audience drank it all in without moving. Every breath held, every eye glued to the piano, every mouth hanging open, like perfect idiots. They stayed like that, in total silence, in a complete stupor, even after that furious closing blast of chords that made it seem as though he d a hundred hands, or as though the piano was about to explode any minute. Danny Boodmann TD Lemon Novecento was born on board an ocean liner and abandoned under the grand piano. Constantly sailing between Britain and America, never setting foot on land, Novecento grows up as the best jazz pianist in the world. This wonderfully evocative play swings to musical rhythms and to the swell of the ocean. Performed in English. Aug 16 - Performed in French.
