Red Mango: a blues monologue

by Charles Tidler

Red Mango is a one-man play about a &quote;single celibate sensualist&quote; 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 &quote;between relationships&quote; 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.
