Still Angela

By Jenny Kemp

06 April 2002 Merlyn Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company,

New Writing Theatre Physical Theatre Film World Premiere

A multi-sided portrait of a contemporary Australian woman at three ages. On the cusp of her birthday, we follow a real and imagined journey up the garden path of her childhood... the Angela of the title role is performed by four different women.

This evocative and innovative play may be read as a modern fairytale, exploring the linear and cyclical nature of a woman's life.

In 2004, the production was remounted for a season in Perth (5-13 August), then toured to The Performance Space in Redfern (1-12 September) and Peacock Theatre in Hobart (16-26 September).

"THOUGHTFUL, PIQUANT AND EVOCATIVE. IT'S A SMALL AND BEAUTIFUL STAGE POEM FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM. STILL ANGELA IS AN INTRIGUING AND ENNOBLING THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE."
