On Saturday 16th September LYM productions present "Call Me Dusty", a play with music, by Derek Webb telling the story of the life of Dusty Springfield.
Dusty Springfield was without doubt the finest white soul singer of her era - for millions she was the definitive pop diva. Her lifestyle was the stuff of legend – and great drama. With her relentless quest for perfection and refusal to compromise, Dusty Springfield led a tortured life. Her stage persona – extravagant black mascara and back combed hair – was at odds with the quiet, shy convent girl, Mary O’Brien and her sexuality. The result was a downward spiral of drugs, alcohol-abuse and self-harm but despite all that she produced tremendous music, which still ranks as some of the finest of its kind.
Tickets are £15 (£14 over 60, under 16). Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm.
