SARAH Quand Meme
Event Date: 30/08/2023, 07:30 pm
Written and performed by Susie Lindeman. Meraki Arts Mainstage Darlinghurst
On March 28th 2023 - marking this centenary - SARAH Quand Même, opened at Théâtre de Nèsle in Paris.
Now, just as ‘La Divine’ did in 1891, the show makes its debut Downunder – with two genuine Australian theatre legends at the helm.
Written & performed by SUSIE LINDEMAN and directed by WAYNE HARRISON, the Sydney premiere season plays August 29th to September 2nd at the Meraki Arts Mainstage in Darlinghurst.
But SARAH Quand Même reveals La Divine’s story from the inside.
This new Australian play has the honour of being the only theatrical tribute to Sarah Bernhardt in Paris,
alongside the current exhibition at the Petit Palais, “Sarah Bernhardt: Et la femme Créa la Star”. She was always ahead of her time.
The plot: It is nearly show-time and Sarah is rehearsing. But when her granddaughter asks for a story,
Sarah inspires a drama filled with the daring of a woman both celebrated and condemned.
Caught between the myth and her monster (the audience) - la scène and l’esprit - Sarah reveals her inner self for the first, and last, time. The play is performed in English with interspersed French.
