“To support —
To enjoy —
To ingest —
To forget…”
By Ernest Kearney — Poetess-songsmith-performer Kate Radford places the above entreaties near the opening of her show Drought.
The first three are easily done.
The fourth impossible.
Drought is a lissome haunting poem that serves as a tonal indictment of our society’s sick tonicity of sexism and sexual abuse. Radford is a seanchaí in the truest sense of the word, employing the “old lore” to question the issues of our present day.
Her songs are intoxicating and stirring, filled with phrasing of staggering beauty –
“Her feet connecting to the carbon of the ground…”
“She gazed up at the horizon and moved towards the sea…”
“Nobody tells you who you’ll be after you drown….”
Radford and Co-Producer Shoshannah Frankel have given the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019 a work of 
lyricism and challenge in Drought, an intense melding of myth and song, extraordinarily personal, uniquely entertaining and superbly performed.
