The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holidays last performances, given four months before her death. In Robertsons Tony award-winning play, Holiday engages the audience with salty, often humorous reminiscences of her troubled life as a traveling performer in a segregated south. With the help of her piano man, Jimmy Powers, she lets music tell her story, sharing soulful and heart-wrenching songs from her memorable canon including: Strange Fruit, God Bless the Child, When a Woman Loves a Man, and Aint Nobodys Business if I Do.
