Following its premiere in Sheffield last year, The Life & Loves of a Nobody is now
entertaining audiences on a national tour.
Rachel always wanted to be a star. Rachel wanted to
run away with the circus. And have her name in lights. And escape from this house.
And she dreamed of the future.
But people can be ugly. The closer they are the
uglier they get. And there’s nobody closer to yourself than yourself. Life is a
juggling act. Love is a highwire. Try to do both at once, and it's a long way
down. But even if the act goes wrong, you can still be famous for the fall.
This visually stunning show about an ordinary woman
journeys along a tightrope wire of dreams and realities, exploring the
differences between the future we want to create for ourselves and the legacy
that we leave behind.
With beguiling staging and beautifully crafted
moments, addressing the ideas of destiny, celebrity, beauty and fame, this
brand new show asks the question: how far will someone go to achieve their
dreams, and at what cost?
The
Life & Loves of a Nobody is a Sheffield
Theatres and Third Angel co-production. Written by Third Angel Co-Artistic
Director Rachael Walton, with contributions from award-winning writer and Third
Angel artist Chris Thorpe, the show is performed by Rachael Walton and Nick
Chambers.
