Doing Time With Lavinia

Poppa Productions (New York, USA)

Lavinia Draper, alcohol-soaked performer of a certain age, maintains her dream despite the struggle. The strife of ageing artists, most particularly women, facing unrepentant discrimination and harassment, and the resultant dysphoria and substance use, is profound. But Lavinia is the rare hopeful dreamer who never gives up on herself and inspires the audience to do the same. A one-woman show performed by Susan Campanaro that shatters genre as deftly as the title character severs the comic/tragic line. Brimming with hysterical comedy, dark sensitivity and harsh reality, the play features a moving score by Lynn Portas.
