Cross Road Blues
Brutal, poetic and ultimately devastating, Cross Road Blues recreates one of the most compelling myths in American music: Robert Johnson’s alleged pact with the devil, hatched out at a crossroads one dark Mississippi midnight.
Previously performed as a fringe two-hander, receiving five-star reviews and sell out crowds, the play has now been reinvented on a Wagnerian scale. The addition of an expansive choral score, performed by a twenty-voice choir accompanied by a six-piece acoustic blues ensemble, promises to make this a unique and truly frightening piece of theatre.
