Fringe Theatre - Sofia The Show

It is Sofia’s birthday and she invites us to the party. A birthday party with cake, wine, music and bittersweet reminiscing of years passed. In many ways a birthday party like any other, but not quite...

Sofia the Show is a devised, autobiographical, site-responsive piece with and about Sofia Marques. Sofia invites us to her house, to share with us the songs and stories of her life. She opens up her home and her heart and welcomes us in.

“The audience join Sofia on her birthday as she takes the audience on an extraordinary journey of memory, revelation, dance, song, wine and cigarettes. Listening to Sofia feels like reading a strangers diary... Brave and adventurous, Sofia and director Marianne have created an extraordinarily moving piece that reminds us that theatre exists to disturb as well as entertain.”
