Description Lose yourself in the company of sailors, barmaid and bootleggers for a soulful, song-filled ode to gin – equal parts historical and hysterical. With tipsy candour, rising cabaret starts Maeve Marsden and Libby Wood take us on a sublime musical journey through the history of "mother's ruin", aka gin.

They stumble and soar through tales of love and women, gin and secrets, through 18th century London, a few New York speakeasies, colonial India, into the Australian bush and the jungles of Peru.

Brimming with music originally performed by Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Martha Wainwright, The Po
