Description
An intimate portrait of a life Australia 1943 to London 2021, and everything in between. Alice is learning to be herself against the times. But how do the times shape who we are? Playing out over a tumultuous eight decades, Alice's complex relationships become a common thread in her personal journey, in this intimate portrait of a life. Alexander Zeldin (LOVE, Faith, Hope and Charity) returns to the National Theatre with this international collaboration. Following hours of interviews he brings a real life to stage, featuring music composed by Yannis Philippakis. The Confessions premiered in Vienna before touring to Athens, Barcelona and Paris as well as a run at the Avignon Festival 2023. This edition was published to coincide with the run at London's National Theatre in October 2023.
