A Woman On The Edge
Claire Dawson redefines the one-woman musical in this multimedia
tour-de-force!
As if careering towards middle age from the wrong
direction weren’t enough, how did she also end up in Tasmania with a gun
in her hand and a dead husband at her feet? To find the answer, our
slightly shop-soiled heroine sings up a storm as she stampedes her way
through a spirited journey of self-discovery.
Along the way, she plays her own backing group and a host of other
characters via continuous video backgrounds.
A funny and moving
script by Rod Anderson explores being that person on the outside of life
looking in and includes songs by Claire as well as some great diva
classics. The whole show provides an ideal vehicle for this
multi-talented performer to display her remarkable voice, comedic
talent, warmth, and insight.
Critics say, "A laugh out loud show delivered with wit, great musicality
and a hugely generous performance from Dawson."
Finding yourself
has never been funnier or more uplifting!
