Plaything

22 Sept 2024

Plaything

'Plaything' follows a young comedy cabaret performer who is notorious for her on-stage toddler persona. She gets a big break and is interviewed on live TV but it doesn’t go quite as planned...After scrutiny from authoritative industry figures, she feels forced to take radical action to make them fall back in love with her. The tactic? To perform a brand new character every time she gets on stage. Combining audio tracks, AI, lipsyncing, musical theatre numbers and drag, the show is a cacophony of visuals and sound. She is a masterful player, but she is nobody’s plaything.
