God Bless The Child (an evening with Billie Holiday) (£8)

One Night Only! 10th February 2010


Written and directed by Mike Levanzin.

After a hugely successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe and a sellout tour
‘God BlessThe Child’ returns for a second national tour.

Set in a small nightclub this mesmerizing performance takes the audience on an intimate and personal journey.

Performed by Katrina Beckford and supported by jazz pianist Mike Conliffe this moving insight into one of America’s greatest singers features a wide and varied selection of Lady Day’s greatest songs and darkest secrets. Contains Adult Themes.

Reviews: “See God Bless the Child, a two-hander starring Katrina Beckford as Billie Holiday, with Mike Conliffe on piano. Holiday's tragic life unfolds with tremendous gusto and is punctuated by some of her greatest hits... Her voice drips with emotion. I'm still tingling from a haunting Strange Fruit that set my hair on end”. The Scotsman, Edinburgh Fringe.

“A tour- de force performance , beautifully accompanied throughout by pianist Mike Conliffe”
