Hard To Reach Places

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Circus
Victoria • SA Premiere

★★★★½ "Smart, funny and wise" The Age

“Stunning physical skills that mesmerise” Theatre People

An intimate and powerfully authentic solo show that mingles theatre, clowning, music and circus. 

A day in a woman’s life is played out non-sequentially as she navigates the challenges of parenting, relationships, show business, visible ageing, and the unrealistic expectations she places on herself and others. 

This solo work combines circus, movement, text and sound in a darkly humorous, irreverent and personal insight into one person’s daily experiences and the chaos that ensues from some questionable life choices. 

A 45-min wild ride of unexpected twists and turns!
