Description

The story of Novecento - 1900 begins with an unexpected discovery: an abandoned baby found on board a great cruise liner at the turn of the 20th Century. As fate would have it, this child is destined for a life of music, yet he will never leave the ship as long as he lives. Novecento becomes the greatest jazz musician the world has never known, with a magical effect on everyone who hears his music. For six years before World War II, Tim Tooney played trumpet alongside Novecento, learning the story behind this enigmatic figure. This poignant tale is presented as a monologue, offering a beautiful piece of theatre that explores the extraordinary life of Novecento - 1900. A powerful and moving adaptation of a film, this stage version brings to life the incredible story of an abandoned child who finds his voice through music.
