It's 2 months, 2 days and 2 hours until the Deb...
Kate McLennan delivers this piece of comedy theatre with
sufficient confidence and energy to win her audience over emotionally
in this teenage story, centred on the preparation for and the actual
experience of a Debutante Ball, described as the second biggest day in
a girl's life next to her wedding day.
The dialogue is unequivocal, light hearted and serves its purpose: to take audiences back to their High School days (perhaps some further back than others). McLennan switches between 9 different characters during the one hour script fairly effortlessly, with some humorous and/or 'laugh out of shock' one-liners emanating from the various Debzillas.
The show's impact and reach was evident after the show, as a group of teenagers were enthusiastically mimicking one of the character's verbal idiosyncrasies.
Whether your Deb was a fairytale, a nightmare or a distant memory, The
Debutante Diaries is an innocent and family friendly alternative to traditional stand up at this year's festival.
