Me, Mum and Dusty Springfield

Assembly @ George Street    6 - 31 August @ 15.25    Stephanie Ridings

Me, Mum and Dusty Springfield is short, direct and touching. Mary, the daughter of a woman with a Dusty Springfield tribute act talks about her life, her relationship with her mother, and the men in her mother’s life. The music is evocative, the character sympathetic and the story satisfying. Performer/writer Stephanie Ridings leads us through the day of her mum’s ash scattering after her death from cancer, like Dusty herself, to the point where she dons the wig herself to sing at the ceremony. It’s light and witty and it hits the spot.
