The Biograph Girl

The Biograph Girl is a British musical saluting Hollywood's glorious era of silent pictures. Parading the movies' earliest heroes, heroines and clowns, it takes a refreshing look at the birth of the "flickers" and that memorable age of stardust and stars, of tinsel glamour and scandals, of sky-rocketing salaries and tremendous vitality. It is a nostalgic reminiscence of the silent movies seen through the eyes of famous figures: Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish, both of them great silent film stars; David Wark Griffith, the most famous of all the American silent directors, Mack Sennett and Adolph Zukor, one of the studio bosses who laid the foundations of the movie industry we know today.

 

This is a rare opportunity to see this tuneful, witty and sophisticated musical brought to you for the first time at the Plaza Theatre. This production should not be missed.
