A Piano Full of Feathers
The story behind Irving Berlin's greatest song
Written by Jane Livingstone
Directed by April Chamberlain
Musical Director Hilary Brooks
Ever met a song before? In this witty and touching new show, the world’s most popular song,
White Christmas, comes to life, taking to the stage to tell its incredible story.
Having penned hit after hit and with a loving family by his side, Irving Berlin is on top of the world. But after tragedy strikes, the legendary songwriter is inspired to write the biggest hit of them all
A Piano Full of Feathers tells the story of
White Christmas and connects the tragic loss of Berlin's infant son with the creation of his most famous song. In this inventive two hander, the song itself becomes a character on a quest to ensure he will be remembered. He tells a story that stretches from Siberia to New York, Saigon to LA and from Tin Pan Alley to Broadway, touching on dark periods of American history and providing fascinating insights into the golden age of Hollywood,
Featuring classics from the Berlin songbook,
A Piano Full of Feathers is about the power of a song to stir memory and the very human desire to be remembered.
A Piano Full of Feathers is written by Jane Livingstone, a former BAFTA Scotland winner who has written for stage, television and radio and whose previous work include episodes of the BBC’s
River City and the award-winning play
Jocky Wilson Said.
With live piano music.
