In the Playhouse StudioHear the heartbeat of history
Love stories can happen anywhere. In the present or the past, in the head or the heart. But when Him and Her meet by chance at the Liverpool docks and unearth the hidden history of the Southern Syncopated Orchestra – the original jazz pioneers – could this be the start of something new, or are they stuck repeating another love story from a hundred years earlier?
Syncopated is an intoxicating new play set to music by Varaidzo about a music student from London and a young Liverpudlian discovering each other in the shadow of the city. As they connect, they begin to sense history’s echoes when two figures from the past lead them on a journey of personal discovery – a trip into the revolutionary Black sound that took the world, and their own lives, by storm.
Co-produced by Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and Talawa Theatre Company as part of Talawa’s Black Joy season, Syncopated hums with live music and romantic energy.
You won’t want to miss a beat.
