Solo Show
Inspired by the life and work of the poet Gwendolyn MacEwen. A celebration of the creative spirit. MacEwen appears as an alien creature, a poet, a drunk, a magician and a prophet. She also brings her own confusion and a warning. There has been a death of poetry, of imagination. These things must return. Then she laughs and fire erupts from her hands. A magical dialogue with the audience.
Stylized
A charismatic ex-suffragette in her 60s, runs a school for secretaries, aided by her zealous 30-ish teacher-lover. When she bumps into a childhood friend and learns that she and her sisters are living in poverty, all are invited into the school for secretaries, even though the older sisters are deliciously inept at the keys, and the younger is more interested in sexual revolution than a career in business. Enter an ex-doctor in his 30s about to embark on a life of leisure, and suddenly everyone erupts into discoveries, contradictions and epiphanies.
