Personal. Political. Poetry for our times. The birth of a child, artificial intelligence, death by government edict and the lure of bacon rolls. A gentle, fierce and honest hour punctuated with true-life stories and songs. Packed with humanity, compassion and pithy observations on life. From the creator of Gie's Peace (sell-out show Fringe 2023 and 2024). 'Moving. Powerful' ***** (NorthWestEnd.com for Gie's Peace). 'Charismatic' **** (BroadwayBaby.com for Bonnie Fechters). ‘A sweeping spoken word set rich with natural metaphors and dynamic waves of energy’ (FringeBiscuit for Fire is Not the Only Element).
