A one-woman cabaret show by Rachel Collis and directed by Kelly Young. Now attacking the piano like a savage, now pleading by it, now subverting it cheekily, singer/songwriter Rachel Collis valiantly confronts the absurdities and contradictions of hope-seeking and self-deception. Salvation by marriage sounded like a great plan, but it mainly resulted in her being married. Now what? When talk is cheap and meaning is 3 for 1 at the $2 shop, humour is a great first step, but Rachel wants more than deconstruction. She wants to make something enduring out of the big fat mess of dissolved fairy tales. Start a new story. Something believable, this time. Find redemption, dammit! Rachel's songs are original, surprising, heartily funny and iconoclastically earnest. Hear her sing a story with a twist of lemon, plenty of laughter, and a rare kind of convincing hope.
