Event Duration: 75 minutes

An End To Dreaming is a fantastical pop fairytale.  It is also the musical marriage that was destined to be between pop cabaret princess, Emma Dean, and Green Room Award winner, Jake Diefenbach.

Brisbane-based Emma and Jake are a modern-day Hansel and Gretel, following a trail of breadcrumbs from darkness into the light.  Like tales from a compendium of Brothers Grimm classics, An End To Dreaming is a collection of 10 musical short stories.  

But An End To Dreaming ventures where even heroes fear to tread.  

"Singer, songwriter and self proclaimed ringmaster Emma Dean is a hobobag full of crazy pills. Like the really awesome hallucinogenic kind."  
- Ryan Brockington, New York Post

Here’s the tip: the boys at the Butterfly Club know their talent. They were the first local promoters to present the debut shows of the then unknowns, Tim Minchin and Eddie Perfect. Making it a sweet trifecta is Brisbane-based, androgynous-voiced Diefenbach.”
- Lily Bragge, The Age
