Through The Literary Cabaret Company, Mark C. Hewitt is producing / directing a performance of three short stories by writer Catherine Smith from her forthcoming collection, The Biting Point. The sequence, entitled Weight, will be performed by the writer as a one-woman show with incidental music for accordion and flutes by composer Peter Copley, sound design by John Avery and lighting design by Clare O'Donoghue.
The three stories -' Sow', 'The Kettle' and 'The Ascension of Mary' - constitute a gritty and uncompromising sequence of encounters: from loathing and manslaughter through adultery and bereavement to flying Yorkshirewomen. Preview performances to be announced.
