About This Show

The Old Globe presents I Just Stopped by to See the Man, by Stephen Jeffreys, directed by Globe Associate Artist Seret Scott.

Set in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, the play tells the story of a legendary blues musician, long believed dead, living out his simple life with his activist daughter in a humble shack. Stumbling into their solitude is a famous English rock star, who has made a fortune off the legend’s tunes, and when he comes seeking the truth about his musical hero, he triggers a confrontation of mythic proportions.
