UPDATE: Devon More's Berlin Waltz has been so well received that three extra shows have been added. It's now on Dec. 7, 14 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the back room at the Heritage Grill. There's no cover, but donations are welcomed on a pay-what-you-can basis.

A one-woman show that toured the Canadian fringe festival circuit this summer is coming to New Westminster in November.
Devon More’s Berlin Waltz, inspired by a bicycle trip along the route of the Berlin Wall, will be playing at the Heritage Grill every Wednesday in November.
“Berlin Waltz is the true story of a young woman’s political awakening as she retraces the 100-mile route of the Berlin Wall on her bicycle,” says a press release. “Or maybe this cold war cabaret is just a clever piece of propaganda designed to awaken the masses to their own power?”
More shares true tales from her trip through the former border zone and anecdotes collected over 1,000 days of pulling pints and pouring schnapps in an East Berlin dive bar.
Her solo show features slam poetry, storytelling, satire and songs, including an original soundtrack. She constructs a “wall of sound” onstage using an orchestra of acoustic instruments and an electronic looping station.
Berlin Waltz is on Nov. 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the back room at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St. There’s no cover charge. Donations on a pay-what-you-can basis are welcomed.
