Playwright and director Alexander Zeldin has explored themes such as the cost of austerity, the power of community, the impact of old age and end-of-life care, and now tells the story of a woman’s life from birth to death. 

The Confessions is the latest work by British author Alexander Zeldin, who tells vivid stories of our time to hold a mirror up to reality. The play is based on the life of the author’s mother: from her birth in Australia in 1943, to growing up working class and seeking an education, and then starting over as a divorced woman in London and establishing a family. Alice’s character morphs as she lives through the social changes of the late 20th and early 21st century. Her loves become the common thread of both personal and collective emancipation. In brief, psychological scenes, the cast sensitively focuses on selected moments in a life spanning almost eight decades.

Performance will be in English with Catalan subtitles.
