The Parting Glass

How far would you go to have just one more day with someone you loved? If you had the chance to see them again, would you take it?   

Deborah Brennan features as songbird and storyteller in this heartfelt and moving show, featuring the music of iconic artists including Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor and Colin Hay.

For anyone who has ever loved, lost, or loved again, The Parting Glass is a beautiful tale of grief, love and reconciling yourself to your past.   

Deborah Brennan is a musician, performer and choir specialist, who has worked for many years on the cabaret circuit, and also runs Bootleg and Park choirs. 

The Parting Glass is presented by Emma Knights Productions.

Enhance your evening with picnic boxes for a selection of treats, available for pre-order to pick up from the Noel Lothian Hall.  

Arrive early to meander under majestic trees and through the lush landscapes of Adelaide Botanic Garden while exploring the stunning Chihuly in the Botanic Garden before the show.
