Nola Rae & Jabberwocky

Performer: Nola Rae
Director: Matthew Rideout
Music: Rebekah Sturge
Editing: Allen Charlton
A peerless mime leaves her vow of silence to give voice to this classic poem by Lewis Carroll. The result is a burst of humour and creative genius. Nola Rae’s Jabberwocky is less recitation than dramatic performance; it is acting on an intimate scale but packs a punch. Brave adventurer, storyteller, naysayer, and grateful courtier all flit before us like shadows across the brow of Britain’s most famous mime. It is nonsense of the highest order.

Nola Rae sitting in a chair is more entertaining than leagues upon their feet and prancing about fully appointed sets. Thanks so much for sharing.

Brilliant! Each moment brings a googly surprise. On the whole, she coaxes a complex, satisfying narrative arc out of once-familiar material.

Great!
