A new musical drama by Greg Snape (with additional material by John Robinson) exploring themes of celebrity, identity, sexuality, abuse and taboo that resonate as strongly today as they did almost a century ago when mercurial silent movie icon and face of the Jazz Age, Louise Brooks was the original Flapper and one of the most photographed women in the world.
It’s the last couple of months of 1928 and we join Louise in Berlin on the set of her seminal film ‘Pandora’s Box’. Against the decadent glamour of the Weimar Republic, the misogyny and huge excess of Hollywood in the Roaring Twenties, and Georg Pabst’s brilliantly ‘noir’ film, we discover the story of one of the first modern women fighting to be true to herself in the face of her own very dark side, and everything the world was telling her she shouldn't be..
And my, does she roar!
