 "Wicked Bodies
begins with one. Told in flashback, it
is both a morbid, deeply dark reflection on the horrors of some women's lot,
and a grand, often hilarious, celebration of life and the pleasures of the
flesh."
BRISBANE NEWS, 2004.
This production began
as a rehearsed reading at the Magdalena Women's Festival in Brisbane in 2001,
and after extensive development went on to debut as part of La Boite Theatre's
mainhouse season in 2004. Featuring five
of Brisbane's best female performers, each from a different cultural background,
they wove together a story devised collectively by the writer, directors,
dramaturg and the cast. Set in a
Parisian brothel in the mid 19th century, their collection of tales,
told through text, movement and song, explored the relationship between
gender, race and the physical theatre's body to be deliciously subversive.
