About:
Lavinia Draper, alcohol-soaked performer of a certain age, maintains her
dream despite the struggle. The strife of aging artists, most
particularly women, facing unrepentant discrimination and harassment,
and the resultant dysphoria and substance use, is profound. But Lavinia
is the rare hopeful dreamer who never gives up on herself and inspires
the audience to do the same. A one-woman show performed by Susan
Campanaro that shatters genre as deftly as the title character severs
the comic/tragic line. Brimming with hysterical comedy, dark sensitivity
and harsh reality, the play features a moving score by Lynn Portas.
'A
tour de force' (The Village Sun, New York).
'A masterpiece of
creativity and talent by the incredible Susan Campanaro. It is a
must-see!' (Audience Review).
'Susan is a gem whose Lavinia is
Broadway overdue! Lynn is a musical genius who creates the perfect
frosting of lyrics and sound to the delicious layer cake that is
Lavinia’s story. Smart, funny, poignant, an evening well spent.
BRAVO!!!' (Audience Review).
