I've Just Worked On...

Picture
The Gingerbread Lady.
by Neil Simon

The Gingerbread Lady by Neil Simon at the Ensemble Theatre, directed by Sandra Bates. The cast was Adriano Cappelletta, Danielle Carter, Kellie Clarke, Tamblyn Lord and Kate Raison. I worked with Kellie back in 2007 in James and the Giant Peach at the New Theatre and have been looking for an excuse to work with her again! I coached the accents for Neil Simon's curious cast of characters living in Manhattan's West Seventies.

The Gingerbread Lady has all the ingredients that make for theatre at its best - recognisable characters who take us on a high stakes journey, where we ride with them through the fun times and the tough times. We laugh with them, we cry with them, but most of all we care about them.

Evy Meara is a cabaret singer just returned from rehab to be met by her long-time friends and daughter Polly. What ensues is warm, witty, heartbreaking and life affirming.

Season: March 16 - April 29
