Grunge, Life, Death, and Salvation, this striking, original work is a heartbreaking homage to one of our most beloved artists. Traverse time and space with Casse Workman in Aberdeen.
“I was captivated from start to finish. Cassie is a phenomenal storyteller. I could practically feel the rain that she conjured. We were lulled by the elegance of her writing and wit into an unforgettable story of raw pain, fury and fragility. It is a howl of a poem. I was floored.” Phoebe Waller Bridges
