Tracey Yarad’s show will be playing in London from the 28th to the 31st July.
It has been announced that following runs at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe, Tracey Yarad’s one-woman show will be heading to London for a strictly limited run this summer.
What do you do when your husband leaves you for your teenage goddaughter? You dye your wedding dress black, write some killer songs and make a show #TrueStory
An emotionally raw blend of memoir and song, Tracey Yarad’s All These Pretty Things is a phoenix rising from the ashes story, taking the audience from Australia and the fallout of a devastating divorce following her husband’s affair with their teenage goddaughter, to New York City and an inspiring new life. An evocative portrayal of one woman’s capacity to come back stronger than ever, it is an inspirational testament to the human spirit.
“I started writing these songs just to keep myself from going insane,” says Tracey, who plays both the damsel in distress and the heroine who saves the day. “I certainly didn’t imagine that it would ever be a show. It was just my healing process.”
Ten songs later, it became an album, featuring top New York musicians, guitarist Luca Benedetti (Ron Carter, Martha Redbone), bassist Tony Scherr (Norah Jones, Bill Frisell), violinist Zach Brock (Snarky Puppy, Stanley Clarke), drummer Josh Dion (Chuck Loeb, Bob James) and pianist/producer Jon Cowherd (Brandi Carlile, Joni Mitchell). A book, with illustrations and short stories followed. Finally, with the help of co-writer and director Tessa Souter, it evolved into this one-woman show.
