Into the New 2023: And for thy peace

And for thy peace, is about memory and its hauntings. 

About my mother’s mother – my grandmother, Nanny Bob. About her love of dancing that felt like it was always in the past.

This is about remembering. About Mothers. About glamour. About death. 

This is a collaboration with my memories of Nanny Bob.

This is show for the living and the dead. 

This is spoken in necromantic tongues. 

This is a thinning of the veil. 

This is a party and a wake. 

So, shall we go out dancing? 

Trigger warnings: Themes of death and loss of loved ones.

Audience can leave if they need to and re-enter.
