60 minutes•Clover
A glitter-soaked cabaret meltdown from a fallen icon with nothing left to lose – except the will to perform, her accoutrements and possibly her marbles. Join Star Dust as she rises like a gold-sprayed phoenix to reclaim her legacy: one power ballad, emotional spiral, and audience interaction at a time. Fringe debut from Punchdrunk’s Kat McGarr, 'witty, mad, hilarious' (Time Out), transforming grief into something absurd, funny, profound. Expect glamour, chaos, clowning, a confetti of catharsis, and a show-stopping finale of hope. Think: Gloria Swanson meets Fleabag at a wake. Sprayed gold. With snacks.
