After poet and dandy Charles Baudelaire encounters Creole actress Jeanna in Paris, 1842, his mother Caroline launches a furious, decades-long campaign with the family lawyer to expel her from his life with unforeseen consequences for them all. A tale of prejudice and rebellion, The Pimp shines a light on a society in transition at the dawn of the Modern era. In this time of intolerance and cultural change, the love story of Baudelaire and Jeanne unfurls to reflect the challenges of their epoch, many of which still ring true today. Contains nudity and scenes of a sexual nature.T1871177708Producer A2 Productions. Director Aba Dirckinck-Holmfeld. Design Sadie Tilbury. Costume Ellen Kyriacou. Lighting Richard Williamson.
