JadeCakea surreal adult comedy about life with kids ...Cake is a new fusion of writing, performance and object manipulation to create a surreal farce that explores both the extraordinary up side and the extremely dark down side of motherhood. After hit comedy Grace looked at the world of a woman turning thirty, writer Sarah Woods and performer Victoria Worsley go for the big one - motherhood - in a new fast, furious and blackly surreal comedy. This is a world where you have only vague memories of who you were before and who you hoped you’d be, in which even the interruptions are interrupted, and - you swore you never would - learn how to make a cake. Puppeteers Steve Tiplady and Rebekah Wild (Improbable Theatre) animate a cast of wooden spoons, sieves, cake ingredients and obstreperous kitchen appliances. Written by Sarah Woods from a collaboration with Jade, directed by Emma Bernard, designed by Delia Peel, developed at and commissioned by BAC and funded by the Arts Council Of England. AudiencesWe have found the show really crosses audiences from young people and students, through to WI and U3A groups. It's hilarious, clever, includes cookery and cake making, as well as being a great take on child rearing, it has a real Bridget-Jones esque approach to being a mum! It cleverly fuses new writing with puppetry and visual comedy ... |
