One Kiss
An old book, What It Means to Be a Woman, given to Georgia on her
sixteenth birthday, becomes the thread connecting three women’s lives:
Georgia, now a woman in an unhappy marriage to a brutish man; Shirley,
her long-lost best friend, now a nightclub singer in New York; and Maud,
Georgia’s mother, the orchestrator of their downfall. From childhood to
motherhood, the book’s secrets are passed from hand to hand, revealing
the choices we make and the chances we miss. One Voice Theatre Company
proudly presents this one-woman musical, with eight original songs.Composed,
