Urban Myths: Hendrix and Handel stars David Haig, Zach Wyatt, Jonny Sweet and Kara Tointon.
Housemates separated by time, Jimi Hendrix (Wyatt) and George Frideric Handel (Haig) grapple with the stresses of the music business. In January 1969, Jimi Hendrix and his girlfriend Kathy Etchingham (Harriet Cains) moved into their first real home in Brook Street in London – the same building that Handel first called home 246 years earlier in 1743 where he wrote The Messiah.
The film imagines the events leading up to a transformative moment when Jimi saw Handel’s ghost which he reported to Kathy.
Written by Cara Jennings and Sophie Trott and directed by Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl), it is produced by John Rushton with executive producer Lucy Lumsden for Yellow Door Productions.
