FINALE
A wild and funny dream-cabaret about love, death and telling the truth.
It is 5 minutes to midnight. A woman welcomes you into an empty hall. She sings for you, transforming into an iconic cabaret performer before your eyes. Suddenly, a ticking clock interrupts, and the woman is hurtled into a show she can no longer control.
Finale is an irreverent wink at our greatest fear. It is a celebration of the worst that can happen. A surprising journey towards the inevitable.
Local legend and doyen, Moya Simpson, brings a lifetime of experience to this musical tour de force. Alongside seasoned musicians, John Black and Jonathan Jones, this work will make you want to sing out loud as the world falls apart.

SHORTIS & SIMPSON OFF THE CUFF
What the title says- a choice of songs, original and covers, no script, just a set list, spontaneous patter to introduce each song- off the cuff. An interesting array of material from two lifetimes of song. At Smith’s Alternative in early October. Bookings aren’t open yet, but as soon as they are we’ll let you know.
