One-Woman Show - The Goddesses are Coming!
The Goddesses are Coming! And to North London, no less, this Saturday afternoon and evening.
Treadwell's road trip. You are cordially invited to meet me and other Treadwellians at the venue in Willesden Library for all three shows which start at 2pm, 4pm and 8pm.
Three themed short shows by the award winning performance artist, Xanthe Gresham. Her funny, wry, and upliftingly poetic one-woman shows are centred round the myths of the goddesses of the ancient world -- but as they live and repeat themselves in the life of a single forty-something girl living in London today. In the course of her monologues, given in the first person and based on her own life, she takes us back in time to the tales of the old myths, and down into some of the issues we face today about sexuality, personal authenticity, adulthood, responsibility, betrayal, and desire -- and she subverts them all, and you're not even watching.
They are each centred on a goddess myth, but really, don't think tofu and tie-dye, think Prada stilettos and hangovers from Jack Daniels. More on Xanthe at her web page: http://www.xanthegresham.co.uk/
2pm Aphrodite and the Real Red Shoes -- and -- Inanna.
Lasts one hour, approximately
4pm. Isis is You, Sis.
Lasts one hour, approximately
8pm Hecate Tango
Lasts one hour
I will be going to all three, making a day of it. Between the 4pm show and the 8pm show, a group of us will be going to dinner at a local restaurant in Willesden, and you are invited to join us. We are meeting in the lobby of the Willesden Library at 10 minutes before 2pm. It is all free (thank you to the Arts Council!).
Venue of performances:
The Space, Willesden Library
95 High Road, Willesden Green, London NW10
Tube: Willesden Green on the Jubilee Line
