The Market Theatre,
Somewhere in Mississippi, 1938.
A lost man stands at a fork in the road, with a guitar in his hand. The road he’s on leads back to a life that’s fallen apart. The other leads to glory.
This is the story of an all-consuming dream, the cost of a human soul, and a deal with the Devil.
Robert Johnson & The Devil is a myth inspired by the original bluesman, with live delta blues and spirituals, told in the best fireside tradition. An icon for Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin, and the first member of the infamous ‘27 club’, Robert Johnson’s disappearance remains shrouded in mystery to this day.
