An Evening with Dross (cabaret theatre)

CABARET THEATRE

An Evening with Dross
Weds, Feb 12, 2025 (8pm)
The Ferret, Preston

Join Liverpool's art-house witch and drag shapeshifter Pretentious Dross for an unforgettable evening of dark and decadent cabaret-theatre.

In a world divided, what might happen when we allow ourselves to dream? This is the question at the heart of Dross' first one-queen theatrical show.

Having cut her teeth on the cabaret circuit across the UK, developing a unique performance style that blends spectacle with deep vulnerability, Dross brings her unique show to The ferret, Preston.

What are the stories that we choose to tell to and about ourselves? How do the ghosts of the past shape our future? And how can we mould the world around us? An Evening with Dross charts a course across a constellation of contradictions - weaving a thread that is equal parts biography and fantasy.

An Evening with Dross is a kaleidoscopic, multimedia patchwork of a life.
