THE next instalment of the Stratford Courthouse’s fabulous, fierce and funny spring season, A Day At A Time in Rhyme – written and performed by entertainment industry legend Jane Clifton – hits the stage this Saturday.
Clifton has acted extensively in film, TV and on stage and is probably best known for her role as rough prison bookie Margo Gaffney in Prisoner.
She has also had a successful career as a singer, being a founding member of Stilletto as well as working with luminaries such as Joe Camilleri and the late Marc Hunter.
A Day At A Time in Rhyme is an immersive new piece of hybrid theatre comprising spoken word, soundscape, image and music, with source material drawn from her 2019 published poetry diary of the same name. Using the four seasons as a framing device, A Day At A Time in Rhyme is a one woman tour de force that takes us into a year of Clifton’s life as she peels back the layers to share her witty, and often poignant, observations on life.
In this revealing, riveting hour-long performance, nothing is off limits as Clifton reflects on, among other things, love and death and family, incontinence and wine, war and sex and Vegemite, footy, children, Christmas, Easter, and the best and worst of times.
Doors open at 7pm and the show beginning at 7.30 pm. Tickets are $35 ($30 concession) and can be purchased at stratfordcourthouse.com.au
