Love Junkie: a musical adventure
Have you ever been love-bombed? Gaslit? Ghosted? Hanky van P has. And that’s without any of the dating apps!
Hanky used to keep a list of attributes her perfect person would embody. But over years of post-divorce dating, she has compiled a new vision—of what it would take for her to share her peace with someone new.
Like a good negroni, Love Junkie comprises three ingredients in equal measure: in this case, hurt, heart, and humour.
So gather round and prepare to be entertained by original songs and vignettes inspired by love gone awry from someone with an unbending belief in love's tendency to go right.
Part-memoir/part-advice column, this is ultimately a story about learning to heal and love yourself.
