About this Event
Ninety two year old Mamie Rae has reached death’s door but is reluctant to enter,
despite her organs failing and turning “waxy and yellow”. She must share her
extraordinary life story, with an audience ON A STAGE – it is, she believes, her destiny.
She needs the audience to participate, and their acceptance and admiration, before she
can let go and pass on to the other side. From humble beginnings with a violent father
in London, to an unlikely career as a fit model, to a farmer’s wife in New Zealand,
Mamie committed herself whole heartedly to everything, and lived an extraordinary life
because of it. One thing that she can’t quite commit to is her belief in her spiritual guide,
without which she is terrified of going into her looming afterlife. Using a variety of
storytelling styles from puppetry to audience participation to knee acting (you’ll find
out!), this innovative show is like no other.
And This Ones True will be playing at The American Theatre of Actors as a part of the Midtown Interantional Theatre Festival from June 29th- July 4th.
