A satirical ballet to a jazz score written around Hazel Merry who was seen by Peter Darrell jiving at a first night party. On the surface, an amusing piece, but in the real cool way the pony-tailed redhead uses her hair to finish off one partner when another arrives, it has a delicate ambiguity and underlying frisson that was to be a feature of many of Peter Darrell's ballets.
