The
production company for 'Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens' bring you
'The City Club'.
Apart from the settings, both are set in nightclubs, and
story lines including, love, lust and murder, these two shows are
like chalk and cheese.
The
City Club is an extremely sophisticated jazz club, where the boss
Chaz (Philip Hayden) is trying to be different formal the other
joints in town. No watered down drinks, no drugs, no loose women
and no gangsters. His barman Doc (Neil Sheffield) and his right
hand man Crystal (Fiona Staniland) seem to back him up fully on
this. However as protection rackets and greedy lawmen get hold of
the club things start to go down hill fast.
We
are introduced to Prince the singer with the clubs band, who likes
to live life to the full, getting a buzz from anything from drink
through drugs, from women to playing Russian roulette, ably if
only briefly played by one of today’s performing legends Ronnie
Golden.
Although
quietly different I can see 'The City Club' gaining its own cult
following, perhaps not to the extent of its predecessor but
certainly a loyal and dedicated following.
