Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Synopsis: Farook Bulsara was a boy of Persian heritage who never quite fit in to his skin or his teeth. It wasn’t until he became a young man that he discovered his talent and true nature, and was reborn as Freddie Mercury. After a brilliant career, with the arenas empty and the lights out, on the night of November 24, 1991, Freddie is forced to surrender his celebrity and face the frailty of his own humanity. As he succumbs to AIDS, the worldwide icon seeks redemption before a God unimpressed with celebrity. In his ultimate struggle to make sense of his grim fate, Mercury realizes that his fame, fortune, and talents are no longer enough to sustain him; that beyond the darkness of his fears, shines a light far brighter than the star he was on Earth. "MERCURY is a heartfelt, witty and poignant script."- Billboard "Messina's powerful one-man show focuses on the man rather than the music"-The New Yorker "A look into the complex psyche of a rock and roll legend. It will rock you!"- Manhattan Spirit "A compelling, well-written narrative...Shakespearean theatricality, sardonic humor and passionate intensity."- Backstage "Diehard fans will enjoy learning more about Mercury's life...Messina's playwriting depicts his story and his struggle."- New York Blade "Messina's one-man work shows the Freddie Mercury loved by millions but truly known by very few. Fantastic theater. The writing gives this show life."- Good Times Magazine
