After a five-star, sellout run at VAULT Festival 2023, IN CLAY, a “perfectly formed and expertly polished” (The Reviews Hub) new musical comes to London for a strictly limited run.
Based on a true story, this “heartfelt, charming new musical…” (Everything Theatre) is told from a quaint Parisian apartment in the late 1930s. Marie-Berthe Cazin, a ceramist in her early 40s, eagerly awaits her estranged childhood friend, and now celebrated artist, Henrietta Tirman. Her imminent arrival pushes Marie to reflect on the great joys and sorrows of a life devoted to making art.
Hailed “a truly magnificent storyteller” (Lost in Theatreland) for the VAULT Festival production, Rosalind Ford reprises her critically acclaimed performance as Marie Cazin. The fantastic Eleanor Walsh (Heathers UK Tour) joins the cast as the alternate.
The production is accompanied by an exhibition celebrating contemporary women ceramicists, curated by Rose Gleadell. International in scope, In Clay: The Exhibition will shine a light on the ways in which women artists are making their mark on the medium. Amongst the twenty artists include Emily Myers, Ngozi Omeje, Ying Zheng, Venetia Berry, Maja Quille, Tessa Eastman, Iku Nishikawa, and Rose Schmits.
