Writer: Stuart McKenzie
Director: Tim Spite
Cast: Miranda Harcourt and Stuart McKenzie
Location: Concert Chamber, Town Hall
Written by Miranda’s husband, acclaimed playwright Stuart McKenzie, what starts as a solo show is soon anything but, as people from her life pop up to argue their side of the story.
Set agains an 80s and 90s soundtrack - and a backdrop of traffic violations, the ’81 Springbok tour, Gloss, Princess Di, true crime and the search for the perfect moisturiser - Biography trace the role of a lifetime through four decades we’ll never forget.
A thoroughly enjoyable night at the theatre. Reminded me of the fun you have when you spend an evening with a couple that have been together long enough to be totally comfortable with each other, to have well-worn ways of relating to each other and familiar stories that they enjoy sharing. Not life-changing but very satisfying.
