About this title

Synopsis

Jesse is the last of the great Blues singers. A mistaken identity in a car crash when he was 60 results in everybody thinking he’s dead. A rock-music megastar from England tracks Jesse down to his humble house in the Mississippi Delta and persuades him to join the band’s farewell concert. But Jesse’s "resurrection" provokes more than the fan’s idolatry.

His adaptation of Dickens’ Hard Times has been performed all over the world.

He wrote the films The Libertine (starring Johnny Depp) and Diana (starring Naomi Watts). He co-authored the Beatles musical Backbeat which opened at the Citizens Theatre and went on to seasons in London’s West End, Toronto and Los Angeles. He translated The Magic Flute for English National Opera in Simon McBurney’s production.
