Maureen: Harbinger of Death

Riverside Theatres and Soft Tread Enterprises present a night of wit, imagination, and storytelling with Maureen: Harbinger of Death, at Riverside Theatres from the 23rd to 25th of March.

Framed by velvet drapes and bedecked with Jatz cracker crumbs and cigarette ash, Maureen invites audiences into her bohemian living room. She’s here to take audiences on an intimate journey brimming with witty repartee, well-worn life advice, an exotic array of friends now gone and the dauntless policy of limitless imagination.

Magnificently flouting many of the rules of drama and narrative with exquisite storytelling, writer and performer Jonny Hawkings transforms into Maureen: a razor-tongued doyenne of Kings Cross in its heyday. Caustic and moving, Maureen: Harbinger of Death is an uplifting demonstration of the wisdom, vitality, kindness, and humour of women too often overlooked or dismissed by society.
