A Certain Lady

Based on the short stories of American literary icon, Dorothy Parker, A Certain Lady explores the heart of a woman in the 1920’s. Through five interwoven stories, the play examines a woman of wit living in the Jazz Age and her relationships with men, whiskey and the waltz. Dry, dark and sarcastic, A Certain Lady says what we wish we could at a dinner party and what we never should say on the telephone. Directed by Greg Karvellas, the acclaimed director of Champ and The Frontiersmen, and performed by award-winning actress and member of The Mechanicals Collective, Emily Child, A Certain Lady is an unsentimental, painfully funny and unromantic look at romance, taxi rides and disobedient garters.

"...It’s a stunningly designed show – elegant and stylish, with a screen on which dialogue is projected and clever use of a mannequin in a suit and a stool. Direction by Greg Karvellas is pitch perfect…”

The Cape Robyn

“A Certain Lady is directed by Greg Karvellas and is darkly humorous, much like his outstanding work in The Frontiersmen and Champ.”

Biz Community

“…the audience was unanimous in their rousing applause…”
