SUMMARY:Change (Or Lack Thereof)
DESCRIPTION:Same Sh*t. Different Time. \nAn MA Theatre Practice assessed performance by Jessica Ashley. \n“Remember\, ‘Yes’ is the answer. ‘Yes’ is good. ‘Yes’ is everything.” \nChange (Or Lack Thereof) is a fiery\, feminist\, dark comedy consisting of three short solo performances\, written and performed by MA Theatre Practice student Jess Ashley. \nMarilyn On The Moon follows Barbara\, a 1950s suburban housewife\, living in an abyss of homemade apple pie and white-picket fences. But Barbara has dreams… big dreams. She longs for more. Freedom\, independence\, and maybe\, her very own microwave. \nIn Kids Aren’t Just For Christmas\, a 20-year-old Uni student finds out she’s pregnant. Yikes. It can happen to anyone. And it does. She’s just lucky she still gets a choice. \nSet in a dystopian future\, Build-A-Baby explores a deteriorating world in which Humankind is critically endangered. In an attempt to save the future of Planet Earth\, the MUM programme trains droids to produce and release a brand-new species – Newmans. They’re like Humans… but better. \nChange (Or Lack Thereof) examines the past\, challenges the present\, and predicts the future. 1956. 2021. 2107. Tennessee. Essex. Anywhere. How much has really changed? \nFREE and everyone welcome\, though please do book your ticket in advance: https://lakesidetheatre.org.uk/events/change-or-lack-thereof/
