Actress
Starring Talia Kodesh, co-written with Bruce Dennill and directed by Daniel Geddes, this is a heartfelt, funny, and moving musical exploring the many roles women navigate in life – actress, wife, mother, daughter, teacher – while balancing personal ambition and expectation.
Featuring eight original songs by Dennill, the show takes audiences on a journey from New York to South Africa, tracing the highs and lows of career, creativity, and identity.
Kodesh’s character experiences stress, triumph, tears and dance, ultimately finding a form of peace, even if it isn’t what she imagined.
Stephen van Niekerk, as Random Props Guy, adds storytelling, humour and stagecraft, highlighting the unsung work of technicians.
The music moves from introspective, reflective numbers to bold, belted showstoppers, colouring every scene.
Ultimately, Actress is about finding peace…
