Equal parts historical and hysterical, lose yourself in the company of
sailors, barmaids and bootleggers in this darkly comic cabaret. "Not only
vocally sublime but a stroke of comedy genius" (TheatrePress), its
critically acclaimed stars Maeve Marsden and Libby Wood return to the U.K.
after playing to sold out crowds in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh
and across Australia. Mother's Ruinis a raucous journey through 18th
Century London, a few New York speakeasies, the Australian bush and the
jungles of Peru. Discover a little more about your favourite drop, with
this mixed up musical history lesson delivered with dry wit and "almost
symbiotic harmonies" (Adelaide Advertiser). With music originally
performed by Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Martha Wainwright, Tom Waits, The
Pretenders, Jessie J and more, Mother’s Ruinmoves from misery to
vaudeville in a moment, intertwining excess and prohibition, history and
(re)invention.
