Finding Connie
 

A lost voice. A hidden voice. A woman ahead of her time.

Finding Connie is a 60-minute concert interwoven with storytelling, uncovering the life and songs of Connie Converse — a songwriter who disappeared without a trace in 1974.

Written through the 1950s, Connie’s folk-inspired songs were never released in her lifetime. After her disappearance, her recordings remained virtually unheard for more than 35 years. When they finally resurfaced, they revealed a body of work that was intimate, fearless, and astonishingly ahead of its time.

Presented by Mirabilis Collective as part of FRINGE WORLD Festival, this reimagined Fringe show features a stripped-back quintet and the luminous voice of Luce Nicholls, bringing Connie’s music into the light.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
