The collection of original songs invites the audience to reflect on some common vicissitudes of life, cycling as we do through ups and downs. Liz Campbell has woven them together using musical and poetical threads from other sources. Presenting in musical dramatic fashion, the performers dedicate this production to the women in their lives - mothers, sisters, daughters.
