Event Description:

By Kristen Thomson
starring Liisa Repo-Martell and directed by Chris Abraham
A Crow's Theatre Production

“...hilariously funny, totally unexpected and unimpeachably true.”

– The National Post

This extraordinary one-woman show map the raw but beautiful interior life of a misfit adolescent. Claudia, twelve and three-quarters, finds herselft suffering from the triple afflictions of puberty, unpopularity and her parents' divorce. Using four astonishingly expressive masks, the performer evokes the anguished Claudia, her grandfather, her dad's new girlfriend and the school janitor. Alternately wrenchingly sad and funny, I, Claudia casts a spell of rare power in the theatre.
Speaking to us from her school's boiler room, the place where she hides the treasures she smuggles from her father's aparement and where she monitors her goldfish for the upcoming science fair, Claudia shares her startlingly poignant insight into the grown-up world that surrounds her.
