This extraordinary one-woman show maps the raw, but beautiful interior life of a misfit adolescent. Claudia, age twelve-and-three-quarters, finds herself suffering from the triple afflictions of puberty, unpopularity, and her parents’ divorce. Using four astonishingly expressive masks, the performer evokes the anguished Claudia, her grandfather, her dad’s new girlfriend, and the school janitor. Both heartbreakingly sad and wrenchingly funny, I, Claudia casts a spell of rare power in the theatre.
I, Claudia was developed and first produced by Tarragon Theatre (Toronto) in April 2001. The original production had three successful runs at Tarragon Theatre, was presented at Harbourfront Centre as part of World Stage, and toured to Belfry Theatre (Vancouver), Magnetic North (Edmonton) and Hungary.
