'A sharp, visually-arresting theatrical experience, based on the sleeper-hit 70s film.

'Myrtle Gordon’s been a star of the stage for years. She’s loved by audiences, acclaimed by critics. Now she’s been cast in the role of a lifetime, and opening night is rapidly approaching – but something’s not quite right.

'The lines won’t stick, she can’t stay in character, reality and make-believe are starting to blur – and there’s a strange woman in her dressing room.

'Is she a ghost? A hallucination? Another Myrtle, who’s climbed out from the mirror?

'The cult classic 1977 film of what happens when a woman can’t play her role anymore, in a startling theatrical reimagining by Carissa Licciardello.'

'When the curtains open and the lights go up you’re on, baby.

'So you better work it baby, shake it baby, get it baby, tear it up tear em up RIP THEIR FUCKING THROATS OUT

'A surreal nightmare of baby dolls, false teeth, pageant crack and mothers who’d rather murder their tiny toddlers than let them leave without a crown.

'This pageant is going to be cut-throat. Literally.'

'What started as a lecture to a roomful of students became an essay, became a book, became a seismic wave. Virginia Woolf’s 1929 classic description of the need for new spaces and a complete redefinition of who owns our storymaking is by turns wise, amusing, incendiary and poetic. Rippling with passion, one of the finest pieces of writing in the last hundred years, with the distinct talents of Anita Hegh walking Woolf’s tightrope of thought and feeling.'
