The
doomed romance between Angélique Picard, the singer
(Frances Ruffelle) and Dan Silverman, the songwriter (Nigel
Richards) unfolds against a powerful backdrop of bittersweet
love songs written by the great Kurt Weill.
Songs such as September Song, You're Far
Too Near Me (lyrics by Ira Gershwin), I'm
A Stranger Here Myself and many more are performed
by Frances, Dan and a seven piece band; against this highly
musical backdrop, two tango dancers sway and shimmer...
Setting
the scene: It's
late…Angélique has just finished another stint onstage
in another dingy cabaret club…the band are downstairs drinking
in the bar and she's alone in her hotel room…she sits down
reflecting upon her brief, passionate affair with Dan and
wonders what would have happened if things had been different…
