The Boards Above Her Face

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

The Boards Above Her Face is an original one person play, about a young woman who has the power to transform things into other things, a power that causes her physical pain.

After she turns her lover into a tiny silver bird, and cannot change him back, she moves to a cabin to isolate and grieve, all the while trying to reverse the change. Here, in her loneliness, she develops a complicated and erotic relationship with a chair.

Part of the Fringe Festival.
