Memory, what is it, and why does the brain choose to remember certain things over others? This charming new operetta dives smack into the matter full-force, with grit, humor and a good deal of twang. Accompanied by her marvelous alt-country band, Gloria Deluxe, and a host of multi-media effects, writer and performer Cynthia Hopkins turns in a highly imaginative and fiendishly successful performance with a sound that falls somewhere between Lucinda Williams, Suzanne Vega and Natalie Merchant.
