Drought

By Kate Radford

DROUGHT is a compositional performance poem. Part mythology, epic lyrical poetry and autobiography, 'DROUGHT' sings out the story of Caenis, a woman hidden deep in the depths of Ovid's Metamorphoses, elegantly fragmenting ancient narratives whlst weaving the parallels into her own life. This is the poetry from the performance. DROUGHT illuminates the power of stories that have for too long prophesied women's destinies, crying out to change them - before we become them. This is not only survivor story, but a provocation to re-write history. A call to love, a call to change, a call to find a way to begin again."An intense medling of myth and song, extraordinarily personal, uniquely entertaining, and superbly performed" -Platinum review - Ernest Kerney, The TVolution**** 'Hauntingly Beautiful' - Ask the Ushers"Kate's use of her foot to control the electronic music became its own form of poetry as her voice soared and roared through the dark space, as footage of old ruins swelled the tiny theatre, DROUGHT became a new religion." - LA Female Playwrights Initiative, Hollywood Fringe '19"'Kate Radford is a revelation. Her one-woman show is emotional, gorgeous, specific, lyrical and intense. She blends intelligent prose and rhyme with a fabulous and deeply melodious use of voice. It was hypnotic and really almost mystical. I highly recommend this show." - Grace Jasmine (LA, CA)
