This
Imaginary Woman
A Modern Requiem
Written, Composed and Performed by Fern Smith
and Patrick Fitzgerald
Co-commissioned by Battersea Arts Centre
A devastating personal testimony of bitter loss and tender memory. An
exquisite black dress, beautiful live music and an astonishing performance
in an ice-white space awash with colour and light. This haunting, sexy
cabaret opens the throttle on honesty, pain and emotion.
This Imaginary Woman is a powerful and passionate show; a journey from
loss and mourning to resolution and acceptance. It is a haunting celebration
of someone who wasn't famous or important to most of us, but who lived,
died and left people behind.
Fern Smith, a charismatic and commanding performer, and Patrick Fitzgerald,
formerly of acclaimed band Kitchens of Distinction, have come together
to create a remarkable piece of music theatre that is candid and moving
in its intensity.
This Imaginary Woman opened at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff on 13
March 2003. It appeared as part of the British Council Showcase at the
Edinburgh Fringe in August 2003, and has toured the UK, Ireland
and Malta.
