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.
