Paris, France And London, Uk

Premiere of From Paris with Anxiety, a one-woman show that laughs at the everyday crises which threaten to make us all a little meshugeneh: The joy and exhaustion of having small children, struggling to understand--and be understood--in a foreign culture and language, and trying to navigate parenthood without the benefit of a parent's guidance. Audiences will love the heartfelt honesty, and the actress will be thrilled to get out of the house. With original songs and somewhat original kvetching, Melinda invites you into her world of music and laughter, direct from Paris!Riverside Studios (Bitesize Festival)Written and performed by Melinda MayorMusic by Yali Arbel and Melinda MayorDirected by Keauna Miller
