Who Wants To Live Forever?

DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THIS SHOW. WE WILL BE RELEASING A RESCHEDULED DATE IN THE COMING WEEKS. APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

Who Wants To Live Forever? is about one woman’s life-long love for Billie Holiday’s music, for the stars, and for her lost baby brother. It’s about camping holidays and friendship; about learning how to sing so that you can sing to the stars; about loss and memory, and turning memory into myths of Amazon princesses sailing the skies. About falling stars, and why we all love them.

Cheryl Martin is a unique voice in today’s theatre, both in her own performances and in the work she makes with others as a director. In both kinds of work, she examines experiences that most people are afraid to talk about, but approaches them with a humour, warmth, and raw honesty that draws audiences in and allows them to explore with her, fearlessly.

“Cheryl Martin’s delightful and sometimes disturbing mix of memory, anecdote, music and imagination is a performance gem. Audiences will warm immensely to her performance, and be taken to the stars by her words” John McGrath MIF

“Images and concepts are layered one over the other to draw vivid parallels between ourselves, our idols and the universe in which we live.” Quiet Man Dave
