Description |
At the centreof the story is Porgy, a cripple whose love for the beautiful Bess seems impossible but manges to grow in spite of obstacles that stand in their way. As the tale unwinds we see strength of character, honesty and friendship that ties the community of Catfish Row together and helps them overcome the corruption of their world. |
