About this Event

Join us for an open mic cabaret night in support of our one woman show Dear Cathy.

Whether you would like to perform, sip 2 for 1 mojitos, sit back and enjoy some life-giving music and art and community or support your friends making something from scratch we would LOVE to see you!

Written and co-directed by John Brindley and co-directed by Georgia Emily Scott, performed by Amelia Sweetland, with an original music score by Polo Piatti. Dear Cathy follows one woman’s struggle to confront the truth of infertility and what an out of the ordinary, brutal biology has imposed on her marriage, on her past life – and on every aspect of her future.

With an unflinching and unconventional look at the emotional toll of infertility and the often-unspoken mental health struggles that accompany it, this one-woman play explored grief, isolation, resilience, and the pressure to remain silent around deeply personal loss.

After a successful run, as a work in progress, at The Bread & Roses and a couple of five star reviews we are now preparing to take our show to The Edinburgh Fringe this summer. We are super excited but also know how challenging this is. Each member of our creative team is volunteering their time to this production due to their passion for and belief in this project. This fundraiser will help us cover the real costs of getting our show on the road, such as: marketing, insurance, rehearsal fees and team expenses.

Whether you're passionate about theatre and music or simply supporting independent artists, we would LOVE to welcome you.

Thank you for helping us bring Dear Cathy to life and we can't wait to see you.


Love the DC team. X


PS It's 2 for 1 cocktails 6-9pm. From 9pm there will be a resident DJ - so please do stay and put your dancing shoes on if you can!
