MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE (2018 remount)
|
Nov 1 - 3, 2018
written by Geraldine Aaron directed by Siiri Scott Presented in partnership with the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE is a one-woman show that tells the hilarious and moving story of middle-aged Angela, who, having recently been deserted by her husband for a younger woman, must set out to survive life on her own. Plagued by surly solicitors, terrible "Lonely Hearts" dates, un-helpful help line counselors, and a myriad of self-diagnosed diseases, will Angela win the fight to keep her husband... or just move on? Directed by Siiri Scott, Notre Dame’s Head of Acting and Directing in the Department of Film, Television and Theatre, MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE stars ITC’s Barbara Figgins, reprising a performance that earned her a prestigious Jeff Award Nomination for Best Solo Performance, and hailed by critics as “a tour de force” and “so dynamic that the stage feels populated by many rather than one."

"Barbara Figgins executes the bathos with flawless timing. Her performance is so dynamic that the stage feels populated by many rather than one." |
A tour de force performance by Barbara Figgins... Her sheer command of the complex show has her easily morphing into many characters, reaching deep emotions, as well as nailing spot-on comic bits." |
Hilarious and sad. |
