Our composer-in-residence Steve Forman has also specially composed two songs after the poetry of Motherwell born poet, Liz Lochhead.

Let our professional cast take you on a journey from dingy 1900’s Berlin Cabaret to glitzy Broadway via Paris, London and Buenos Aires: this is cabaret like you’ve never heard it before and is a must see!
