RENOWNED Canberra Theatre Maker Camilla Blunden is currently touring our region with a disarmingly intimate work filled with offbeat anecdotes and soul-baring revelations that brings audiences of all ages together in an exploration of the humour and beauty in ageing. All This Living! tells the story of Jay - an invisible, shrinking contemporary older woman who got ignored once too often as ‘just an old women’ and decides to investigate what this “third stage” of life really is.
The contemporary solo performance All This Living! will be at the Griffith Regional Theatre on Saturday, July 22 at 5pm and the Leeton Roxy Community Theatre on Sunday, July 23 at 2pm. The performances will be followed by Q&A chat between actor and audience.
