Richard Watts sits down with writer and performer Karin McCracken to discuss her hit show Heartbreak Hotel.

Together, Richard and Karin explore the universal experience of going through heartbreak and the deep physiological effects it has on the body. Karin says Heartbreak Hotel has comedy, catharsis and live music wrapped into one.

After a sold-out run at this year's RISING festival, the comedy returns to Arts Centre Melbourne from July 14th-19th.
