About Sara Malinowski
Sara Malinowski presents a true-enough, one-woman, cross-country cabaret-play. The show follows a journey across the USA in 2014 with an impulsive, weepy young woman in a spray-painted Honda Civic — singing for gasoline, frightening bears with Shakespeare, learning to smoke by Arizona and how to heal her heart by Zion, all while travelling with a stranger. Featuring radio hits sung live, Shakespeare proclaimed wildly, feminine pleasure found, and denied truths explored. The show runs for 60 minutes at Jade Studio, for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A road trip, a stranger, Shakespeare and live music — Sara Malinowski has turned a cross-country American journey into something intimate and genuinely theatrical. A one-woman show with a lot of ground to cover.
