Kid Champion is a talented guy from Kansas whose charisma and musical gifts propel him to superstardom. Suddenly he is at the center of a world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. A cult figure, surrounded by groupies, press, and hangers on, Kid begins to feel the pressures of celebrity, slipping irreversibly into the abyss of drugs and drink. source: Dramatists Play Service URL: http://publictheater.org/view.php?mode=eventdisplay&eventid=344&past=1&returnURL=%2Fcelebrating%2Fpast_view.php%3Fdecade%3D1970 | |
