World famous fash­ion styl­ist Mar­got Von Dont has returned to New Zealand with life and style advice for us. We’re upstairs above Leroy’s Bar with a small stage that resem­bles a talk show set. There are clothes hung on racks and spilling out of suit­cas­es. The show starts with an announce­ment that’s not usu­al­ly heard in a the­atre but is typ­i­cal for a busi­ness meet­ing in an unfa­mil­iar space.Then Mar­got (Sasha Tilly) appears from the stair­well. She’s wear­ing a mus­tard dress, pink check coat, and orange fash­ion tur­ban and looks fab­u­lous. As Mar­got tells us about her life and what she’s been up to we get the sense that she has fall­en on some very dif­fi­cult times. There is some audi­ence inter­ac­tion and yes, some dress­ing up. (Pay atten­tion to Margot’s rules as there may be a quiz.) As Margot’s lay­ers peel away we get clos­er to the truth of her sit­u­a­tion until final­ly, every­thing is revealed. Love­ly and fun.

You can also find Mar­got (and her rules) on Insta­gram.
