Zandra, Queen of Jazz - LIVE STREAM

About this event

*LIVE FROM OUR LIVING ROOM!!! With the new nationwide restrictions, Zandra, Queen of Jazz will be performed in Darn Skippy's very own living room--transformed into a jazzy cocktail bar...just for you!

After two sold-out runs at Smock Alley Boys' School Theatre, and a very memorable performance at the dlr LexIcon last December (see video below!) Darn Skippy Productions are delighted to return to the LexIcon with Zandra, Queen of Jazz.

With just her sax and a suitcase, Zandra Mitchell joined a jazz band and toured the world. Born in Phibsborough, Dublin in 1903, she was Ireland’s first female saxophonist. While the twenties roared she found her way through Europe to Berlin. The dictators rose; the books burned; the bombs dropped…and Zandra played her sax Darn Skippy Productions present Zandra, Queen of Jazz — a play with original music, based on an extraordinary true story.

With Support from Jazz Ireland

Further support from the dlr LexIcon Library. The early development of this piece was supported by an Emerging Artist Bursary from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Arts Office.
