“Ever stare at yourself so hard that your eyes practically start bleeding?”
One of the most celebrated theatrical creations to come out of Canada, this extraordinary, multi-award-winning one-woman show returns for its 20th anniversary, reuniting beloved performer Kristen Thomson with director Chris Abraham. Wrenchingly sad and thrillingly funny, I, CLAUDIA casts a spell of rare power. Since its premiere in 2001, Thomson’s Dora Award winning masterwork has toured the world, been adapted into a Gemini-award winning film, and charmed audiences everywhere. In this virtuoso solo mask performance, Thomson, a “heart-stoppingly honest comedian” (Globe & Mail), brings to life the precocious 12 ¾ year old Claudia as she faces the myriad mysteries of adulthood.
