Doing time with Lavinia

An alcohol-soaked performer of a certain age maintains her dream and never gives up. Uproariously funny one-woman tragicomedy.

Presented by: Poppa Productions (New York, USA) | with C ARTS

From: New York USA

Lavinia Draper, alcohol-soaked performer of a certain age, maintains her dream and never gives up on herself, despite the struggle. The strife of aging 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. 

Performed and Directed by Susan Campanaro
Lyrics and Music Composed by Lynn Portas
Produced by Jimmy Burke
