Empowering, informative and uplifting
Say hello to Lucy! Well, her left and right boob to be more precise. Performed by the stern, sensible and sensitive, Rae Bell accompanied by the energetic, cheeky and fun loving Hannah Harquart. Surrounded by a set of soft pink drapes, disco balls, jazzy patterned rugs and bright lights the stage is set as the audience takes their seats.
Maya Shimmin’s production is slick, heartwarming and informative- the actors take us on a 60 minute journey of Lucy’s life, sharing with us the highs and the lows of adolescence, relationships and what happens after Lucy is diagnosed with breast cancer. The show uses clever theatrical devices including: sharp physical sequences, lighthearted and cheeky audience interactionsand empowering voice overs from real-life women who had been diagnosed with cancer.
Hannah Harquart and Rae Bell make a fantastic double act, their energy onstage is electric and infectious. The balance between light and shade throughout the show is well placed and beautifully found. The audience were catapulted from moments of joy to sorrow throughout which made for an exciting and engaging watch.
Identities is a heartfelt and uplifting production that cleverly uses these two tits to tell Lucy’s story in a way that is accessible, energetic and memorable. Be sure to grab a ticket before the end of the Fringe and also remember to “Check your tits!”
