Rehearsed then performed 6th & 7th April

In this solo performance, Chris takes her belongings off their shelves, out of dusty boxes, piles them high and takes a look back at dreams, ambitions, vanities and compulsions. At what cost? And what for? In the end, all will be lost... but for a few treasures that will become her legacy. And Us, the Audience are beneficiaries and witnesses. Wealth's Last Caprice is a Vanitas for our times, a sensitive, funny and touching reflection on what we value.
