Quick Guide:

• This is theatre with music rather than simply an evening of song. Things are by turns sweet and delicious then darker and more ferocious!
• The choice of music is unexpected ... Kurt Weill, Hans Eisler, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Stephen Sondheim, Dilly Keane and so forth, rather than more mainstream pop cabaret music.
