Description:
In this new project "What A Racket!" Jackson takes on the role of a fictious artist: Max Champion, a representative of the genre known in Britain as "Music Hall". (in parallel, a similar genre has developed in the States called "Vaudeville"). The genre originated in 19th century London and became the first popular mass entertainment created by the working classes. The shows featured entertaining elements like magicians and acrobats, people knew all songs and sang along to the stars on stage - these events were parties! - 180GR.
