Evelyn in Concert

The women of Pennsylvania House are making good progress – with talk therapy, group therapy, dance therapy and their surreptitious visits to the surrounding druidical wood, when luminous film actress Evelyn Henries arrives and wreaks havoc with her Star Quality. Will the fortress hold? Or will Evelyn’s Magick destroy the fragile strands of sanity these women have left? A musical fever-dream, Evelyn is a story about the consequences of being somebody, and the horror of being nobody. In a re-imagined and updated version, Nellie Tinder’s Evelyn in Concert will be performed as an experimental chamber musical, allowing the audience to absorb the work less as a piece of narrative, and more as a hauntingly humorous nightmare unfolding in their minds.
