Welcome to this live episode of the podcast! Well, sort of. Fascinated by romantic comedies, one woman tries to create her own walking-off-into-the-sunset moment. While recording it, of course. Denver's parents might not have ended up like When Harry Met Sally, but she can find her own happily ever after... right? Combining a delicate navigation of heartache with disco dancing and rom-com plots, this one-woman show, written and performed by Georgie Grier, explores our relationship to fantasy and how far this can impact our reality.
