Monica Salvi presents Mad Women in my Attic

Typecasting and a theatre career drove our heroine to insanity.

She exchanged theatre wings for padded walls, glamorous costumes for a white nightgown, adoring audiences for a bunch of inmates.

Yet, she will sing!

You are cordially invited to a Madwoman’s cabaret, to celebrate that fine line between creativity and insanity.

Join Miss Salvi and her psychothera-pianist Michael Ferreri in a musical group therapy, administered through the wonderful melodies of Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weill, Kander & Ebb, Maury Yeston, Tom Lehrer, Heisler & Goldrich, Nadav Wiesel, Emily Autumn, The Therapy Sisters and other talented authors, who realised that a good madwoman can inspire the greatest songs.

After critically acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Brighton Fringe, the Prague Fringe, the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York – where it won a Best Cabaret Award – and a sold out performance at The Other Palace Theatre, Miss Salvi is delighted to bring her Madwoman stories and songs to the befitting stage of Crazy Coqs.

Directed by Clare McKenna.

“Salvi is endearing, funny, and sexy, inviting her fellow “patients” into the darkness with her, always with a wink and a clever costume change.” – Theater in the Now (New York, United Solo Festival)

“Salvi proves herself to be a comedic force of impressive aptitude, delivering cutting one-liners” – A Younger Theatre (London, The Other Palace)
