Hutch

Synopsis:
Lady Mountbatten sues over claims of an affair with black singer ran all the headlines in July 1932. But the truth was even more outrageous. . .the inimitable music and lyrics of Cole Porter help to tell the tale of Londons most popular cabaret attraction of the 1920s and 30s. I was lucky to be in Paris at the time Cole Porter was starting to write his big hits ... He taught me how to sing his songs and introduced me to the right people. - Leslie Hutch Hutchinson. the right people (aka his lovers) included Hollywood stars, princesses, debutantes and duchesses and, most famously, edwina, wife of the Queens cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten. But this proved to be a liaison too far. Having skipped his native America, Hutch showed up in Paris and London when the so-called jazz age was in full swing. Cole Porters song Let's Do It was one of his trademarks. the love triangle of Hutch, Porter and Mountbatten simultaneously propelled him into high society and yet ultimately destroyed him, emotionally, physically and musically. A story of illicit love, racism and betrayal of the highest degree.

Starchild

Synopsis:
A star falls from a winter sky and is found by two woodcutters. the star turns out to be a STARCHILD who grows up to be beautiful and beguiles everyone with his singing and dancing. But STARCHILD has a dark secret. When he meets a beggar woman, a terrible change occurs. the woods in which STARCHILD grew up begin to tell a different tale. Follow STARCHILD on his quest and meet, along the way, the proud Peacock, the sinister Wolf, the Hare that carries a message. And the Mystical Sorcerer. . .Oscar Wilde told this story to his own children and included it in his collection A House of Pomegranates. Wilde wrote that &these stories are meant partly for children and partly for those who have kept their childlike faculties of wonder and joy, and who find in simplicity a subtle strangeness. STARCHILD has the echoes of Wilde's famous novel Dorian Gray. Starchildren are children who have been sent to earth from somewhere in the universe to help the earth and the people in it.
