Rich People Cry Too (and Other Lessons I Learnt from Telenovela)
Written and performed by Lucy Dawber

Funny, observant, absurd, and charming Rich People Cry Too (and Other Lessons I Learnt from Telenovela) is a show that pays homage to the lavish world of Telenovela, while interrogating what it is to try to connect to a culture that you have never experienced.
