Actress and author Marsha Hunt takes to the stage in a show that promises a revised look at the Sixties. She tells FIONA MCCANNwhy and about the role Jimi Hendrix plays in what she calls a ‘theatrical lecture’

‘MICK WROTE Brown Sugarfor me,” Marsha Hunt drops in, mid-conversation, without a trace of smugness about her status as muse to one of the best-known songs from the past half century. It’s merely a statement of fact by this compelling 63-year-old, as she sits across from me on the stage of Temple Bar’s New Theatre explaining the title of her new show.
