Tom Waits For No Man
Drawing on personal experiences, as well as Wait's vast musical history, Stewart D’Arrietta shares his love affair with the 'prince of melancholy's' brilliant songs. Waits' colourful misfits come to life in this powerful, poignant and innovative show.
In his inimitable way, D’Arrietta adds humour, joy and a whole new dimension to the music.
