SYNOPSIS:

No Good Drunk is a Southern Gothic tale about love gone wrong. A one-hour multi-media performance blending theatre, film, and songs by LA-based performer Stacie Burrows set to the backdrop of West Texas dive bars and graveyards. The show is comprised of 8 original songs and true stories that connect the through-line about how alcoholism upended the family. My grandfather drank himself to death in the 50's in El Paso, Texas and wound up buried in another woman's grave. As I move through the generations of the family, we learn that history doesn't always repeat itself, but it often rhymes. This is a tribute to the perseverance of women who carried on raising their families despite being tethered to an addict. Directed by Katierose Donohue Enriquez (Queen of Fishtown). Musical direction by Sam Small. WINNER Best of Feury Developmental Award Hollywood Fringe

The original studio recording of No Good Drunk. Engineered by Sonic Boom Room in Venice, California.

“She is an engaging and self-effacing raconteuse when speaking. But she reaches another, more powerful level in song. Burrows is nothing if not honest, and final twist in the story is a real gut-punch. ”

— Guy Picot, Gia on the Move, Hollywood

“Haunting, poetic, and quietly defiant.”

— The Scotsman

“A Southern Gothic tale that is as haunting as it is heartfelt. Burrows’ performance is magnetic. Her storytelling is rich with detail and emotion, keeping the audience riveted throughout the hour-long solo show. ”

— Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly

“Overall, this is a refreshingly raw, real, and unique one-woman show which, owing to its honesty and immediacy, cements itself as a standout of the genre at this year’s Fringe.”

— Olivia Glover, EdFringe Review

“She is an engaging storyteller with a sweet singing voice and a natural, appealing honesty. Projected homemade videos behind her add a personal touch, and occasional humour breaks up the weight of the subject matter.”

— Hannah Bentley, EdFringe Review
