The name says
it all. I'll Break My Own Heart is
all about the torture and journey of love; the darkness, the disturbing and the
beautiful. This is cabaret. It is sexy one hour degustation from Rose Grayson,
who both devised and performed the show.
Dressed in
fish net stockings, a corset and top hat, Ms Grayson welcomes the audience with
Illusions a song written by Frederick
Hollander. A good choice, as the subject matter, if you hadn't already guessed
from the title of the show, is about love, lust, passion, hate and heartache.
The trauma and wonder of love is conveyed in 19 songs and poems. There's a
little storytelling, a little chatting with the punters, but mostly the
audience experiences the range and beauty of Ms Grayson's voice.
