New York, USA

Presented by: Rosemary George (New York, USA) with C ARTS

From the Greek trickster gods to the spirit world in Japanese Noh Theatre, the world of drama has discovered a way to hide the realities and truths from themselves and the world around them. Join New York Professor Rosemary George as she takes you on a lecture tour through the joys and sorrows, comedies and tragedies of life through the lens of the theatrical mask.


"The professor’s range and extent of research is clearly apparent" (EdinburghGuide.com)


"A densely packed piece of work which successfully steers a course between the jagged rocks of academic dryness and the coral reefs of mundanity" (EdinburghGuide.com)


"Brilliantly and eloquently written ... Thoughtful ... Extraordinarily well-researched" (Audience Review, Edinburgh Fringe)


"Quite unique ... Informative and fun" (Audience Review, Edinburgh Fringe)


"A truly thoughtful, educational and enjoyable presentation of the deep symbolism in the masks that we as human beings are required to wear. Loved it!" (Crowd Pleasers Audience Review, Melbourne Fringe)


Created and read by: Rosemary George
