Photo Flash: A Madwoman Escapes the UK to Bring Her Cabaret to NY's Largest Solo Theatre Festival

A Madwoman Escapes the UK to Bring Her Cabaret to NY's Largest Solo Theatre Festival! Check out photos from the cabaret below!

Set in an imaginary mental asylum, "Mad Women in My Attic!" is the cabaret brainchild of Monica Salvi, an Italian actress and singer based in London, UK.

A Royal Academy of Music alumna, throughout her career Miss Salvi was often typecast in roles of crazy women. She was therefore inspired to develop a cabaret to celebrate all the mad songs and characters she had in her repertoire.

For one night only on October 7th, 2017, Miss Monica Salvi will bring her "one-madwoman-show" to New York, as part of the United Solo Festival at Theatre Row, on 42nd Street.

The show had its premiere at London's Actors Church, where Miss Salvi did a lot of things one shouldn't really do in a church

Sometimes unpredictable and slightly dangerous.
