A cabaret performer, Joanie, arrives at the Afterlife, and is asked what she has learnt? This takes the audience on a journey with Joanie to understand the choices she made and their consequences. Her spirit guide Pam reveals more than Joanie knew about the reaction of another woman, Eva, following a chance meeting after one of Joanie’s shows. Through myriad other characters, we discover there are still opportunities for redemption, with renewed purpose.

It asks some challenging questions about why we make the choices we do and shows the exponential growth of consequences – good and bad – of a throwaway line, a choice of work or love, or the larger decision of what you should do with your life. This philosophical depth might not be what you think you’re looking for at a late-night show, but it’s always intriguing and Katie Reddin-Clancy’s characterisations keep you interested and caring about their outcomes. (Though if the late night bothers you, then the show shifts to an earlier slot in the season!)
