 What if your dad was
a dead rock legend? Chris Brassington’s stunning one-man play tells the story of Jim
Morrison's unknown English son. Dynamic character changes, some masks and a sprinkle
of guitar. Directed by James Henry Parker.
Douglas is constantly being reminded by his mother
that his dad is the legendary rock-star, Jim Morrison. Trouble is that Douglas and
his mother live in a dreary northern town in England and not sunny L.A. Determined to
follow in his fathers footsteps, he heads off with his guitarist to America.
However, an accident in the back of a run-down van in Kansas City cuts short his
quest for success leaving him with terrible facial scars. Back in England, Douglas
struggles to overcome his difficulties through performance art and soon discovers some
startling home truths.
