First of all, you want to see this show. Carlotta-B from 1593 is the stuff of dirty jazz and nightmare carnivals and poet clowns. You get this in your head, you won’t WANT anything else in it.

Third, here’s all the stuff about it.
(Well, not ALL the stuff. Friends, there is so much GLORIOUS STUFF.)
I’ve written about Carla Kissane of the Shakespearean Cabaret before. (Hey! Follow her on INSTAGRAM!)
I was so lucky as to sweet-talk her into being a cast member of Ballads from a Distant Star, the SFF folk musical (SFFF?) written by myself, Carlos Hernandez, Caitlyn Paxson, and Amal El-Mohtar, with musical help from my brother Jeremy Cooney and Dr. Mary Crowell.
Follow the link to the blog I wrote about one of Carla’s previous Shakespearean Cabaret shows, Whores and Weeping Women, which was… AWESOME!
I also wrote this sonnet for Carla, back in the pandemic days, as she was creating her character “Carlotta-B from 1593” on a Brooklyn rooftop:
I like to think it was prophetic.
Friends, if you’re in the U.K., at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, PLEASE! GO SEE THIS SHOW! Then come back here and tell me ALL ABOUT IT in the COMMENTS!
