"You gotta keep him here, Miss Jeffries.

He's the goose who laid the golden egg..."

When Marcia Jeffries, an experienced local radio producer, interviews drunken drifter known as 'Lonesome Rhodes' in his lonesome jail cell, she sees more than just a prisoner... she sees potential. 

After offering him a slot on her local radio show, she begins to notice that she's taken on more than she can handle, and things are rapidly going out of control. 

Lonesome's fans are growing more clamorous, and the politicians are starting to notice. 

With original music by award-winning Elvis Costello

Marcia finds herself in the middle of a controversial situation, as she dives headfirst into the world of celebrity and investigates whether celebrities should be elevated to positions of unchecked power. 

Featuring original songs by Grammy award-winning Elvis Costello, artistic direction from Kwame Kwei-Armah and scripts written by Sarah Ruhl, book tickets now to enjoy the world premiere of a Hollywood classic!
