It has been a while since we had a silent film with live accompaniment at the Curzon and this one is set to be a real treat. Multi-instrumentalists Chris and Veronica Perrin, aka Brief Encounter Duo, create an authentic Jazz Age accompaniment to this classic ‘whodunnit’ melodrama.
“Piccadilly – an exquisite evening’s entertainment”
“Your skilful musical backing of the movie enhanced the experience beautifully!”
“Truly an unexpected and delightful surprise.”
“By the evening’s end, I felt I had experienced a classic silent film in the way its very first audiences had done, almost a hundred years ago.”
Screen goddess Anna May Wong stars as Shosho, a young Chinese woman working in the kitchen of a London night club. She is given the chance to become the club’s main act, which leads to a plot of betrayal, forbidden love, and murder.
