Natasha York to Bring THESE THINGS TAKE WINE to June Melbourne Cabaret Festival

This June Melbourne Cabaret Festival will play host to Natasha York's critically acclaimed one woman show "These Things Take Wine", at the new Alex Theatre Complex this June. As the title would suggest this show is full of puns, tipsy tales, and a whole wine-inspired soundtrack including classics by Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Nancy Sinatra and even Michael Jackson. York pours her heart out in this comedy cabaret filled with power tools, balloon animals and decisions made under the influence.

If you've ever had a bad day at work, a horrible break up or an awkward date and needed a glass (or three) to ease the pain, then this show is for you! Mark Twain said to "Write what you know" and Ernest Hemingway said to "Write drunk, edit sober". York decided to take both pieces of advice, and has written a show about the things she loves - wine, good music and living life to the fullest - and delivers it all with a vulnerability and openness that is usually only found at the bottom of a glass.

The show debuted in Melbourne last year at the Butterfly Club and has since toured to the Brisbane Powerhouse as part of the Wonderland Festival to sell-out houses. Musical Director and arranger Daniele Buatti has been with the show since its conception and the duo make a fierce team, having worked together in the critically acclaimed comedy improvisation troupe "Impromptunes" on a number of festivals including Melbourne and Perth Fringe Festivals and Melbourne International Comedy Festival. So wine-not grab a glass of vino and catch "These Things Take Wine" at the gorgeous Alex Theatre in St Kilda.
