SINGULAR WOMEN by Stewart Permutt
Presented by ONWARD PRODUCTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE BRAINBOX PROJECT PRESENTS
Australian Premiere
Directed by Jenny McNae
Performed by Jenny Davis and Rebecca Davis.
Singular Women focuses on the stories of four extraordinary women. Bea is publicising a book about her late lover, a well-known comedian. Stella believes that what she doesn’t know about chocolate isn’t worth knowing. Isolated spinster Frances innocently plays with dolls’ houses while hiding a secret and Dora is a “perfectly formed small person” with a great right hook, whose acting career is challenged during a run of Humpty Dumpty.
Singular Women was originally presented at The Assembly Rooms at the Edinburgh Festival, and has toured to critical acclaim throughout the UK.
Stewart Permutt has bravely marched into Alan Bennett country and staked out his own impressive territory, producing subtle and touching monologues.
The Independent On Sunday.
This is an accomplished bittersweet piece of writing...chilling…brilliant.
The Evening Standard.
Four beautifully written gems. What’s On London
…a nice mixture of theatrical raconteurishness and keen-eyed social observation, comic exaggeration and quiet truths. Time Out, London
