Mother's Ruin: A Cabaret about Gin
Duration: 60 minutes
Equal parts historical and hysterical, all heaving harmonies and tipsy candour, explore the history of gin through story and song. Stumble and soar through tales of love and women, gin and secrets, as we wind our way through 18th Century London, colonial India and the jungles of Peru, via sailors and barmaids, bootleggers and master distillers.
With two of Australia’s rising cabaret stars at the helm, Mother’s Ruin moves from misery to vaudeville in a moment, intertwining excess and prohibition, history and (re)invention.
With music originally performed by Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Merle Haggard, Kurt Weil, Jessie J and more.
Age Suitability: 15+
