“It’s a really exciting play because it has a really powerful story,” said director Lindsey Zess-Funk. “It’s a one woman show about a woman in her late 40s who gets up the courage to make her life her own. She escapes a bad marriage and becomes a country singer,” she continued. “Marg sings her songs and tells the story of her life and what brought her to this point. There’s humour and lots of drama. Emotionally it’s all over the map,” she said. “Erica Hunt is the performer and she’s a force to be reckoned with,” she enthused. “It takes place in a country bar, so bring money for drinks,” Hunt laughed. “She takes a terrible situation and while she doesn’t make it work but she’s a tough woman and she’s got a fiery spirit. I connect with that fiery spirit,” Hunt said. “She’s sharing her stories and singing her songs. Some of them are light hearted and others are pretty harsh,” Hunt continued. |
