Synopsis

This cabaret is an affectionate look at life and love – in three languages – English, French and German.  It’s quirky with a mix of the dramatic one minute and hysterically funny the next.  It's appealing and accessible to everyone – even if they don’t speak all the languages.  It includes songs such as: Wer Liebe Sucht (Stand by your Man),  Je Suis Malade (Serge Lama), Talk (David Warrack), Their Things Were Out! (Hank Beebe), Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie (in German),   Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)."
