“Enthralling… fascinating analysis of the human condition” Guardian (4 stars)
“[SHE] triumphs in its on and off-stage talent. Co-directors Sutch and Corner bring an inventiveness to the staging of each play that keeps everything visually interesting and distinctive” The Stage
Seven short plays inspired by Shakespeare’s Seven Ages of Man speech. Charting life from birth to death, Anthony’s new play explores the human condition with two actors playing all fourteen parts across the seven plays.
Will she stop the baby crying? Exact revenge on the school bully? Fall in love and be loved? Protest to change the world? Accept advice from her mother’s friends? Come to terms with an unexpected illness? Grow old with dignity?
LOVERS, MOTHER’S FRIENDS & WIDOWED directed by Maddy Corner
“Shall we be sisters? No, we’ve played sisters before”
“Twice.”
“Lovers? Old school friends? Strangers?”
