In A Woman in Reverse, a sharply funny and deeply moving solo performance, one woman retraces the emotional blueprint of the women who raised her over the course of a single day structured around breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Blending biting comedy with raw vulnerability, the show follows a divorced daughter balancing motherhood, memory, ambition, and survival as she confronts the seductive pull of generational patterns, she is desperate not to repeat. Haunted by a flamboyant grandmother who longed for a glamorous life and a mother shaped by disappointment, she begins to uncover what it means to stop living in reverse – and finally claim an identity of her own.
