Come on a trip back in time with London's finest early jazz and
ragtime musicians.
Singing sensation Patricia Hammond, 'The Canadian Nightingale'
lends her meltingly lyrical voice to the songs of the 1910s, 20s
and 30s, and the Ragtime Parlour Band will make you get up and
dance with their Prohibition-era hot jazz.
London's best vintage hair and makeup team Ginger &
Greene will be there to transform you into a film noir heroine,
1920s flapper or 30s sophisticate.
For those who enjoyed Academy Award winning film 'the Artist',
Emily O'Hara's Lucky Dog Picture House will be showing 'Cops' by
Buster Keaton, accompanied by live piano improvisation. It is
rumoured that Felix the Cat may also make an appearance.
All this in the theatre that saw the world premiere of Oscar
Wilde's 'Salome', and the 17-year-old Laurence Olivier's acting
debut.
Do not miss this unforgettable event!
Dressing in vintage-style clothes is encouraged, but not
mandatory.
