Jude, a failed actress battling dementia (Michelle Hine), seems to think she’s a lot more famous than she actually is. Between playing mother and battling with her illness, she escapes into a world of sequins, air-kisses and grand sweeping entrances. Amongst all this her conservative and bigoted daughter, Holly, returns to the fold. Youngest Maureen, and secretive older brother Sean, greet her warily. As things turn from bad to worse the comically dysfunctional siblings must unite in a common cause. Lies are exposed, old wounds reopened and each must struggle with their own off-beat neuroses.
The Idea of America showcases the universal story of how a modern family copes with the loss of a parent, interweaved with the fantastical world of a stage diva gone mad! Created by Sam Shore, The Idea of America saw a number of distinguished artists help bring the play to life including Academy Award, and two time Emmy award, winning director Milton Justice. This season the volume is ramped up even further with the addition of Chelsie Preston Crayford, who joins the talented existing line-up of actors.
Tickets available from the Theatre's TimeOut Café 9-3 daily or book by phoning 372-2941 or email ArtworksTheatre@gmail.com.
