Streaming daily on Vimeo as part of the 75th Edinburgh fringe festival, direct from my living room to yours:

(The making of) 27 Lost Years: Diary of a Compulsive Hoarder (or how I very nearly lost my mind on the long and winding path toward creating and performing a virtual theatre presentation for the 75th Edinburgh Festival Fringe)

18-28 August 2022 • 12:20 PST/20:20 BST [GMT +01:00]

NOTE: The performance dates have changed due to technical issues with the broadcasting platform on Vimeo

A conceptual exploration and guide to the development and creation of a performance piece based on a forthcoming work of non-fiction tentatively titled What Fresh Hell is This? – A Definitive Guide to Compulsive Hoarding or What Not to Do When Your (Mother) Dog Dies.

Part concert, theatre, dance, cabaret, and spoken word, this solo show mines the pain of grief and loss, the addiction of attachment, the profound and lasting effects of bullying and homophobia while illuminating the salvation found on the dance floor, in the magic of vinyl, and on Broadway...in faith, family, music, and mindfulness.

Is it theatre? Is it a collection of songs interspersed with poetry? Is it a side trip into tough drag and cabaret? Or is it just a descent into madness?
