Tom O'Brien's play charts Kathy Kirby's startling story. Her rise to superstardom, fame, fortune and a string of lovers to her withdrawal from public life and her struggle with inner demons, a spiral downwards, a turbulent personal life and the descent into virtual recluse. Illustrated with songs and live music from the thirties to the seventies Kathy Kirby: Icon is the portrait of an artist and a star who had it all and subsequently lost everything.T01740584049Kathy Kirby: Icon is accompanied by David Cantor's new work I Play for Me which tells the fictional story of Elliot Figueroa, a trailblazing 1960s musician whose temperamental side comes hand-in-hand with his raw talent and, who on the brink of success, realises that everything comes at a cost.Presented byMihara Donegan.
