Heart of the Matter
Macho drive, fast living and eco-hedonism….this is a transformative life story which packs the punch of grand operatic drama into a witty, jazz inflected, fifteen minute performance. Bass Ed Bersey journeys from childhood into worldly ambition and beyond, seeking where soul and passion can lead us at a time when the cult of stuff is reaching the end of the road.
