The story of Jim and Caroline, a drug-addicted couple, is told through the emotive and provocative words and music of Lou Reed. Including performances by Fernando Saunders, Antony Hegarty, Steve Hunter, Rob Wassermann, Rupert Christie and Sharon Jones, Reed captivates his audience as he bares witness to the couples’ self-destruction. The live staging contains music-video-like film clips projected behind the band and sometimes cross-faded into the film itself, with material ranging from the literal to the abstract.
