How to Live with Dread : written and performed by Jane Wells
60mins – no intermission
Having recently lost her brother Ker (co-founder with Megan Stewart of the River Clyde Pageant) Jane Wells grapples in this new work with how to find the way forward in life and in her work without him — so close was their connection as siblings and collaborators. The piece shines a gentle light on grief and one’s identity within, and after, loss.
Jane describes How to Live with Dread as “a show about family, about death, and about the work of creation… But in a fun way!”
