A Day At A Time in Rhyme

A Day At A Time in Rhyme is a one woman tour de force written and performed by industry veteran Jane Clifton, who headlined Lab Kelpie’s 2019 national tour of Spencer, and who is well known to regional audiences from her Prisoner days.

Using the four seasons as a framing device, A Day At A Time in Rhyme takes us into a year of Jane’s life as she peels back the layers to share her witty – and often poignant – observations on life, particularly from an older woman’s perspective, which we don’t often hear or see on stage.

In this revealing, riveting hour-long performance, nothing is off limits as Jane reflects on – amongst other things – love and death and family, incontinence and wine, war and sex and Vegemite, footy, children, Christmas, Easter, and the best and worst of times.

Supported by sound effects, music pads and projections, Jane will perform about 35 of the original 365 poems in a dramatised monologue, drawing on the personal to the universal as she runs the entire gamut of reflection, humour, tragedy, wit and whimsy.

The raw honesty and humour in the show provides an excellent opportunity for local communities to come together for an intimate hour of fun and reflection that will leave them feeling uplifted and more connected to themselves – and the people around them.
