Tracy Crisp: Pearls
In the search for a string of pearls, a daughter travels to her abandoned childhood home and a mother travels from Port Pirie to Paris, without ever leaving Australia. Family relics abound: ashtrays, a Princess Diana jigsaw, a commode used as a coffee table. Memories are ignited then questioned. And still the pearls cannot be found. Family fractures deepen until finally a heartbreaking, but healing truth is revealed.

"The art of storytelling relies on two things Tracy Crisp has nailed: entertainment and believability" InDaily.
Since 2018, Tracy Crisp has been creating a new show each year to debut at the Adelaide Fringe. Piece by piece she has created a series of six solo shows all told with her trademark blend of humour and poignancy. These hugely relatable middle-age reflections on daughterhood, parenthood, relationships and self, draw an eagerly-returning (and growing) audience to her sold-out performances.
Now, for the first time, Tracy is showing all six shows in one season. This is a unique chance to catch up on a show you’ve missed, rewatch one of your favourites, or see them for the first time.
Playful and poignant stories told with wit and Gen X wisdom.
