Inspired by the life of a dear friend, Maureen: Harbinger of Death is a one-person show that celebrates the wisdom and acerbic life advice of older women in a society that often dismisses its female elders. Co-creator and performer Jonny Hawkins takes to the stage in minimal costume — bar for a herbal ciggy — to embody Maureen in her boho living room. Expect storytelling of the most entertaining and heartwarming kind as Hawkins and director and co-creator Ranney bring back their friend's passion for life as a self-described 'working class glamour queen'.
