Fresh from earning an Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda, The Story of Eva Cassidy returns to The Drama Factory in Asla Business Park on Sunday 16 October.
The heroine, Eva Cassidy played by Kerry Hiles, is a petite blonde so shy and unsure of her talent that she would never realise the degree of her gift during her own lifetime. Her most important album was self-financed, her breakthrough music video was shot on a shaky handheld camera, her largest audience was a handful of people and she died at the age of 33… But, as with all great legends, what seemed to be the end was actually the beginning.
Hiles teams up with guitarist Rob Thompson and drummer Kristo Zondagh to bring the music and magic of Cassidy to life at 16:00 on Sunday.
