All These Pretty Things
★★★★★ "Blisteringly Honest" The Edinburgh Guide
What do you do when your husband leaves you for your teenage goddaughter? You dye your wedding dress black, write killer songs, and make a show. #TrueStory
All These Pretty Things is Tracey Yarad’s raw, darkly funny blend of memoir and music—a phoenix-rising tale that takes audiences from Australia, through the wreckage of a 23-year marriage, to a bold new life in New York City. It’s an evocative portrait of resilience, creativity, and the power of love and music to heal.
