Silent film Piccadilly with live music by Wurlitza at Plymouth Arts Centre
For one night only, and to celebrate the magic of silent cinema, Plymouth Arts Centre is welcoming back Wurlitza, performing a live accompaniment to Piccadilly, the 1929 film directed by EA Dupont.
Piccadilly is a beautiful study of London in the 1920s, illustrating high and low society -from the immigrant slums of Limehouse to the opulent nightclubs of Soho. A beautiful Chinese dancer, Shosho (Anna May Wong), is discovered in the scullery by a nightclub owner and becomes the new act.
Wurlitza are acclaimed for their unique musical accompaniments. Their soundtrack ranges from numbers by the Cure, Pink Floyd, the Buzzcocks, Kylie Minogue and Lou Reed to classical piano, Spanish guitar duets, four part harmonies and jazz standards -all performed live.
The screening takes place at Plymouth Arts Centre on Saturday, February 25 at 8pm, tickets £10
