Capitalism, Race, and Pop Culture. You know, the small stuff.
Sidney can feel her career slipping down the drain. No one loves a pop star when she’s past forty. Unless she wants to join the ranks of the has-beens on the casino circuit, she needs to reinvent herself – and quick. But what if she regains her former glory and still feels that something is missing?
In its Canadian premiere, ROCKABYE offers a satirical and dark portrait of our self-involved, celebrity-obsessed culture, starring ARC Co-Artistic Producer Deborah Drakeford in a career-defining role.
ROCKABYE is an ARC Production, directed by Co-Artistic Producer Rob Kempson, running from from January 26 to February 11, 2024 at Factory Theatre, 125 Bathurst St in Toronto.
“This is undoubtedly some of the most exciting work to come out of Australia…” – Australian Stage
