Come join us at the crossroads and sing the blues. As the sun goes down, and darkness takes a hold, he’s waiting for you here, the fallen prince, the great actor, serving wine, food and song to ease the pain. Come on Sinnerman, you be amongst friends here, sittin round the table with the great rebel and his horde of black riders: Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, The Doors, Diamanda Galas, PJ Harvey, Tom Waits and Nick Cave. 

As a lead-in to the Cavell Leitch New Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival in The Gym, Free Theatre presents a special ‘The Devil and the Blues' Ubu Night.
