The Molses Kaufman/Tectonic Theater Project play, produced locally by Stages Bloomingon.

Georgie is a resourceful 12-year-old girl. She secretly lives alone in her flat in a working class suburb of London following the death of her mother. She makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. Out of nowhere, her estranged father, Jason, arrives. Uninterested in this sudden new parental figure, Georgie is stubbornly resistant to his attempts to connect to his daughter. As they adjust to their new circumstances, Georgie and Jason find that they both still have a lot of growing up to do.

Pink Floyd were caught in the epicentre of the underground scene of the 60s as the psychedelic house band of the UFO club in London, with Syd Barrett its enigmatic figurehead, inspiring such musicians as David Bowie and Marc Bolan. Though he named the group, wrote the first two hit songs and was the lead vocalist and guitarist, Barrett was pushed out of the band by its members who were convinced he was having an LSD induced psychotic breakdown. Barrett subsequently dropped out of the music industry, living as a recluse for thirty years.

Directed by Storm Thorgerson and Roddy Bogawa, the film combines archival footage with present-day interviews (including classic band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters)/ Thorgerson was a lifelong friend of Barrett’s and, as a member of the graphic art collective, Hipgnosis, designed a number of Floyd’s album sleeves and influenced the band’s game-changing aesthetic.
