There will be a matinee production on Wednesday 25 May at the Epsom Playhouse Myers Studio celebrating the American songwriter George Gershwin. Robert Habermann returns to Epsom to sing the songs and tells the story of how George first started out first as a song-plugger, writing his first huge hit "Swanee" on a bus in twenty minutes in 1919, his life long collaboration with his brother Ira, with whom he wrote such great songs and shows for iconic dancer Fred Astaire, to the tragic end when Gershwin's life was suddenly cut short at the age of 37 with a brain tumour. Songs include: 'I Got Rhythm', 'They Can't Take That Away From Me', 'Our Love is Here to Stay' 'Summertime' and many more of his great hits plus an abridged version of his masterpiece: 'Rhapsody In Blue.'
