Notes: | part of The Monster Monologues | |||||
Synopsis: | Yvette Parsons wrote and performs monsterlogue 4 Cynthia, the title role being your classic old biddy with Princess Di bag attending the wedding of a couple of youngsters from the neighbourhood. More a simple character study than a true narrative, Cynthia's snuck off to scoff a giant helping of pavlova and express every bigoted view possible about all the people present, as well as Hare Krishnas, Maoris, Asians, wimmins libbers, you name it. Parsons' wee vignette is quite brilliantly conceived and one of the most laugh-out-loud of the evening, which is saying something. | |||||

Synopsis: | With her tea trolley polished, Cameo Cremes on the cake stand and sherry glasses at the ready, Yvette Parson's intimate solo show Silent Night shuffles into the Musgrove Studio for seven shows only from December 13th 2010. It's Christmas Day and an elderly Irene McMunn demonstrates her unusual and innovative cooking, shopping and festive decorating techniques while awaiting the arrival of her guests. In this time, Irene remembers stories of her past the Tangiwai disaster, the effects it had on her and her family, the courtship and marriage of her late husband Len and her relationship with daughter Elaine. She also regales about her special ability she can receive messages from God. Confiding to her local priest about her ability, day by day the messages become regular and found in everyday items, such as the vision of the Virgin Mary in her Tip Top toast. If that wasn't enough to contend with, her cat Monty has gone missing! Always quick to spot a souvenir sherry set, hand-made lace treasure or a right royal trinket, Parsons has collected an eclectic array of memorabilia for Silent Night - a story of loss, loneliness and stoic survival, laced with plenty of humour and a set full of nostalgic paraphernalia. | |||||
