Calpurnia Descending
By Sisters Grimm
12 November 2014 – 30 November 2014 Merlyn Theatre
Created by Ash Flanders & Declan Greene
Malthouse Theatre, Sydney Theatre Company, Sisters Grimm,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere Co-Production
She’s spent a decade sequestered away from the bright lights of 42nd Street, but when a golden chance comes to resurrect her career and her reputation, Beverly Dumont will do what Beverly Dumont does best — scheme, scam and scream her way (back) to stardom.
The show was first performed for Sydney Theatre Company's 2014 season at The Wharf, 9 October - 8 November.
"[SISTERS GRIMM] write fast and on the fly ... and the finished product is so good that critics and audiences fall at their feet in adulation."
— Concrete Playground
"BEYOND ALL HIS TALENT, THE SECRET TO CAPSIS' CORUSCATING PRESENCE IS HIS BRAVERY AS A PERFORMER. HE HOLDS NOTHING BACK."
