About this show

Pasuz Productions presents their new darkly comedic show about reputations and how you lose them, how one version of events becomes "the truth", and what your options are when your terribly worthy one-woman show is repeatedly interrupted by rowdy hecklers. This playful meta-theatrical piece juggles the stories of a well-meaning student, a director with a dark secret, a serially misunderstood monarch and a long dead literary giant. Who gets to tell their truth before the final curtain falls? (Do we have budget for a curtain? Join us to find out!).

  • One of the most delightful aspects of Roses to the Living is its exuberant playfulness. Its light-hearted “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” approach feels fully in tune with the original plucky spirit…
