A Different Song

Beautifully balanced with humour and music, ‘A Different Song’ is an uplifting story of love, loneliness and what it means to belong to something that makes us feel connected to others - to feel part of something real in an increasingly disconnected world.

A lonely microphone, an unpredictable crowd and a deranged dog...oh, and a spot of knitting-ripping..... It can only be one thing - open mic night. Backstage, seasoned performer, Mitch, tunes up against a backdrop of faded
dreams and pain, pushed down. Another regular, Kate, is devastated when she hears that Mitch has decided to call it a day. Chrissie's taken over the clipboard and hosting for the first time. She needs it to go well. She needs her star turn to stay.

Kate has a new song. The crowd are ready. In this room, on this night, there is hope and there is love.

Live music weaves into the fabric of this comedy drama, underpinning the joy and resilience of the unique community that is open mic night.
