Hilary Chaplain (New York)
"A Life In Her Day"

Regie: Avner Eisenberg
Unconventional and outrageously funny, A Life In Her Day is a solo comedy about the tragedy of growing up and the promise of happily ever after. A wonderful mix of physical comedy, object theatre, puppetry, and serious theatre, the show is an hour-long one woman and a few props show where our heroine makes do with a “pretend” family of common household goods. An original amalgam of Lucille Ball and Charlie Chaplin, Hilary Chaplain is a masterful physical comedienne who exposes her most intimate moments after discovering a diamond “engagement” ring in her cereal box and pursing the life that ensues.
