Written by Tom Eyen | Directed by Chris Weare | Performed by Jazzara Jaslyn & Donna Cormack-Thomson
Duration: 65mins

The story of one woman who didn’t quite make it. Based on icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Jean Harlow, this tragic, dark comedy explores the tension between public adoration and private angst. An actress caught between the nun she imagined herself to be spiritually, and the whore the world saw her as.

“A scorching death rattle, the last symphonic outcry of a soiled, sequined soul.” – The New York Times on the original production

Christopher Weare, whilst striving for a lighting design nomination, is presently teaching at AFDA. Recent productions include Sound of Laughter, Grounded and Cowboy Mouth. Chris Received the Fleur du Cap Life Time Achievement Award in 2012.
