Vesper Time
Vesper Time (2015-current) offers an ‘evening prayer’, a high-spirited and playful reflection on ageing and on acting before it is too late; on male role models and the need for father figures - real or imaginary. Stacy draws on her former training as a missionary and her roots in stand-up comedy and writing, excerpts from Hollywood blockbusters and the existential undercurrents of Moby Dick in this subversive sermon about loss and living life to the full.
A one-hour piece for stage, Vesper Time has been presented at IBT 17 Bristol International Festival, Soho Theatre London and across the UK.
