Two one-woman shows by Jaye Tuttle and Jane Clifton transformed from two personal books, are running back to back at La Mama HQ in Faraday St, Carlton from July 13 – 24.
Jayne Tuttle’s Paris Or Die is based on Jayne’s 2019 memoir of the same name.
Directed by Tuttle’s fellow Lecoq Theatre School graduate John Bolton, the play follows the story of a young actress drawn to the city of light after her mother’s death.
Jayne transforms as she plays herself, the character of the writer and the person within the story. A combination of physical theatre, improvisation and storytelling.
Jane Clifton’s collection of poems A Day at a Time in Rhyme is distilled from 365 poems published in the original book.
Also published on the cusp of the pandemic, Jane’s poetry has been transformed into an immersive piece of hybrid theatre directed by Terrence O’Connell.
Comprising spoken word, soundscape, image and music, A Day at a Time in Rhyme is a poetic trip through one year in a well-lived life filled with joy, pathos, strength and humour.
Paris or Die is created by Jayne Tuttle and John Bolton, directed by John Bolton and performed by Jayne Tuttle.
A Day at a Time in Rhyme is written, performed and produced by Jane Clifton and directed by Terrence O’Connell.
