Magpie Sings the Blues

Overview

Kat, a blossoming young singer is groomed for success by her obsessively pushy mother. Christine grows up neglected, forever in Kat's shadow. As the gap between Kat and Christine's relationship grows, so too does the hatred Christine harbors for Kat. When Kat is eventually crowned Best Female Newcomer 20 years later, an emotional break-down forces her to confront her demons.... her past....... and Christine. Magpie Sings The Blues explores the psychological effects of fame, and the price of success. Inspired by modern society's obsession with 'celebrity status', MSTB reveals how the pursuit of fame 'at any cost' can have lasting psychological effects.
