“BLISTERINGLY HONEST”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
–The Edinburgh Guide
After nearly 80 performances across Edinburgh, Adelaide, London, and the United States, All These Pretty Things returns in a newly re-imagined form for this special preview viewing — a refined and revitalised version of a show that continues to evolve.
Blending original songs, raw memoir, and dark, disarming humour, All These Pretty Things is an intimate one-woman cabaret about loss, resilience, and starting again. When life falls apart, Tracey Yarad turns heartbreak into art, inviting audiences into a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey of survival and reinvention.
This latest iteration represents a significant creative overhaul, shaped by the collaborative talents of David Deblinger (New York–based actor, acting coach, and dramaturg) in dramaturgy and co-direction, alongside longtime collaborator Tessa Souter, who co-wrote and co-directed the work. Together, they have sharpened the storytelling, deepened the emotional arc, and prepared the piece for its next chapter.
Critically acclaimed, blisteringly honest, and unexpectedly uplifting, All These Pretty Things stands as both a reckoning and a celebration — a prelude to an ambitious upcoming Australian tour.
