Local writer/performer Stacie Burrows brings her critically acclaimed solo musical drama No Good Drunk to Corazon for one night only Sunday, October 19 at 7 pm.
Fresh off the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this “haunting, poetic, and quietly defiant” (Scotsman) solo show blends storytelling, film, and original songs (co-written with Sam Small) set to the backdrop of West Texas dive bars and graveyards.
When Burrows set out to find her mother’s father that she never knew—“a no good drunk buried somewhere in El Paso”—her search led her to a mis-marked grave, a dive bar from the 1950s, and a deeper understanding of the invisible wounds passed down through her family line. Through a vivid multimedia narrative with archival road-trip footage, recorded testimony and original songs. Burrows explores the cyclical nature of addiction and her fierce determination to end it. As she weaves through the generations of her family, we learn that history doesn’t always repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
Directed and Co-Devised by Katierose Donohue Enriquez (Queen of Fishtown). Music co-written with Sam Small.
