1 1 Madeleine Jenny Kemp , 2010 single work drama (taught in 1 units)
1 1 Kitten Jenny Kemp , 2008 single work drama

'Kitten looms on the edge of a cliff, her lover perhaps lost to the sea, his best friend at her side. She is a song in three movements, a fragmented, untameable self. She surrounds herself with the relics of a love lost, but memory alone won't fill the void. This yearning becomes a vacuum so powerful it threatens to devour her world. The landscape of a mind in disorder has no horizon.

'Kitten's rollercoaster journey from the depths of despair to soaring hope makes for theatre at its most powerful, freeing us from the illusion that everyday life is a realm removed from our hidden interiors.'
