Red Mango

By (author): Charles Tidler

‘Red Mango’ is a one-man play about a “single celibate sensualist” who constantly thinks about women-though not for sex, but for sweaty joy and sensual contact on the booming dance floors of Victoria’s blues clubs. Charlie is a mid-40’s, divorced blues fanatic: he is “between relationships” and addicted to the rapture of losing one’s self in a crowded room of sweating, gyrating, heaving bodies, grinding to the rhythms of powerhouse blues. Humorous, poetic, ‘Red Mango’ played to sold-out houses at Victoria’s Belfry Theatre.
