By Gregory Whitehead.
At the height of the American "Gilded Age", the members of an elegant New England social and croquet club performed an elaborate if somewhat distasteful ritual. In 1915 sculptress Frieda Hopkins created "Seven Feet with Four Toes" in solid alabaster. Almost a century later the sculptures now act as iconic magnets for post-feminists and foot fetishists from around the globe. A story that strikes to the fungal roots of the American imagination through noir comedy, investigative expose and the rubato rhythms of melted cocktail music.
Songs composed and performed by Richard Busch Director and sound designer Gregory Whitehead Executive producer David Hunter
