What happens when a poet, an author, a composer, his lover, and a literature-loving stripper all move into the same house in quiet, wartime Brooklyn? CBC host, storyteller and BPAC favourite Tom Allen returns with this intoxicating mix of chamber musical cabaret, social history, and very juicy gossip.  Together with songstress Patricia O’Callaghan, pianist and vocalist Bryce Kulak and harpist Lori Gemmell, Tom Allen treats the audience to the songs and stories of unlikely roommates W.H. Auden, Benjamin Britten, Carson McCullers and Gypsy Rose Lee.
