A Lady Does Not Scratch Her Crotch by Celeste Cahn, 9:00pm
In this whirlwind one-woman show, our hero seeks the help of feather-dusters, three blondes and even you, the audience, to figure out how she's supposed to dress, act, kiss and love like a lady. But not too much.
Written and performed by Celeste Cahn, with additional direction by Francesca Hsieh (asst. dir. Vanya Duke of York’s Theatre) this Standing Ovation Nominated show explores how growing up in the shadow of a particular Disney Princess can be confusing, confining and, at times, consuming. It deals with themes of gender, sexuality, femininity, masculinity, and growing up.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl - not a princess or pretty girl waiting to be a princess. Her hair was always in her face. No dress fanned out as she sat. She could barely sit in a dress. She saw no happily ever after on the horizon. From princesses to periods, a look at gender, sexuality, and the near impossibility of growing up.
Anatomy of Pain by Aoife Parr, 7:30pm
Anatomy of Pain is a powerful and unflinching exploration of the dysfunctional healthcare system, following Alex’s journey to seek a diagnosis for the rare and debilitating condition, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Through an intimate and emotional performance, the show explores the impact of clinicians’ unfamiliarity and lack of empathy when faced with rare conditions. Audiences are invited to witness the devastating impact this has on every facet of Alex’s life, from identity to relationships. Beautifully crafted and deeply moving, this interdisciplinary performance is a must-see for anyone seeking to understand the human cost of systemic failings.
