Why is there a stack of The Sacred Harp, 1991 Editions in the toilet?
Tup lived and breathed every hymn on every page of her Sacred Harp book. At a mass sing, she couldn’t be outsung. These days, Tup struggles to button-up her cardy and put names to faces, she is in combat with her daughter Alison about who is the parent, and cannot keep up with her non-binary grandchild Billie. All Tup knows is… when in doubt, sing loud.
Featuring a live choir and original songs by Ro Bright (Daffodils) and Pat Irwin (SUSS, The B-52’s), this ceremonious and candid story about unconditional love and the power of community features stage luminary Jennifer Vuletic (Wentworth, Looking for Alibrandi) with direction by Kitan Petkovski (The Inheritance).
