This show belongs to the Fringe2019 season. This season is now over.

Woman of the Hour

A legendary artist, muse and woman of the stage shares an intimate retrospective of her life in the limelight. She'll be bringing to life her most well-loved roles as well as some personal favourites, and even some pieces that have never before been seen onstage. Can she contain her extravagant glamour in the modest furnishings of a festival show and go for an hour without picking up a bottle of gin? A new work from acclaimed writer and performer Sophie Joske.
