ZARASCASKET

An avant-garde window into the life of a Zara and her casket of freedom and escapism

Zarascasket is a choreopoem play selected for the 2015 RADA Festival, and previously had its R&D performance at Paddington Arts Centre, through winning New Heritage Theatre Scratch Night '14.

Presenting a unique interweaving of different motifs with an equally novel plot at its core.

The play centers on Zara’s attempts to escape her past any way she can. She must battle her own demons, and the demand for her salvation from a former lover. Zara’s world brims with mystique and lyricism; charming a sold out RADA Festival audience. 

a ‘vulnerable, truthful, naked [performance], with very good use of language - absolutely beautiful!’
