A street cantata.

Book and Lyrics by Eve Merriam.

Music by Helen Miller.

4 m., 5 f. Int.

This version of Inner City is based on the book The Inner City Mother Goose by Eve Merriam. This is a catalogue of urban ills which modernizes nursery rhymes so that the city's ills can be seen in a documentary and entertaining way.

"It's all presented by a fascinating parade of characters: a local congressman, a prostitute, the cop, the drug pusher, . . . each of them has a chance to address the audience, to tell their story, and they tell the audience how things really work. . . . The songs have verve and drive, the lyrics have an exuberant and refreshing frankness."—ABC-TV.
