Celebrating Women At Ovalhouse Theatre

Perfectly Imperfect Women has been developed by multi-award-winning storyteller Danyah Miller as part of the Ovalhouse Spring Season to celebrate International Women's Day on 8 March 2017.

Perfectly Imperfect Women tells the story of five generations of women from one family. This universal tale drives us to want to live perfect lives as mothers, daughters, wives, sisters and bread-winners.

Perfectly Imperfect Women examines the complex relationship between mothers and daughters and the challenge of discovering you may have more in common with your female ancestors than you care to admit. Join Danyah on her search for a richer understanding of the concept of perfection and what it means to accept imperfection in order to connect more deeply to her female line. Writer and performer, Danyah Miller, comments, As we began to create this show I realised that I find it really challenging to accept ‘imperfection’, because I’m afraid that this will mean I've failed. I’m not even sure I can accept imperfection as an option. I’ve also discovered that I’m not alone in this.... this idea of ‘being perfect' seems to speak to all the women to whom I’ve chatted about the show. It makes me wonder why we are driven in this way and how ‘perfect’ is different for each of us. Perfectly Imperfect Women runs at Ovalhouse Theatre from 8 - 10 March 2017 BOOK TICKETS FOR PERFECTLY IMPERFECT WOMAN
