A Different Kettle       

Picture


​One woman’s comical musical story about finally achieving freedom from parenthood, and then losing it in Cork.

What happens when your kids have left home, you’re in your mid-fifties, single, and fully aware of the potential out there for letting your hair down? For this multi-tasking, multi-instrumental individual, new problems arise, and old memories surface, and she explores solutions, with lots of laughs, a smattering of klezmer, jazz, and other musical styles, and plenty of soul.

Testimonials:
A Different Kettle is a hugely original piece of musical theatre, written and performed by Ruti Lachs. Not only does she play several parts, but she accompanies herself on accordion and trombone - at one point simultaneously. No mean feat! By turns funny and touching, but never boring, Ruti tells the story of her search for freedom. Not to be missed.  Victor Richardson, Chair, Tracton Arts Festival

Audience Responses:
Witnessing someone expertly play two instruments at once whilst dancing was worth the admission price alone, the storytelling and the humour were the glittery icing on that fun cake! At The Everyman
I SO recommend people go to see this! Loved it at 'On The Pig's Back' - and I'll see it again on the 25th too! At On The Pig’s Back
Brilliant and uplifting - go see it! At On The Pig’s Back
