Acted, danced and sung in "The Show Must Go On" written by Tabitha Besley, Eleanor Strathern, Zach Miller-Basset, Comfrey Sanders and Paki Tahu. I played the dysfunctional, control freak, ring mistress Michelle.
"The Show Must Go On is a colourful and entertaining look into what goes on behind the scenes of a struggling travelling circus. It focuses on many dark aspects of being human but the circus' performers are quirky entertainers through and through and the complicated love triangles, touching and intimate scenes, energetic dancing and alternative costuming are all their own. It is a play bound to play with your heart strings that will also shock and amaze."
