Vera has a story to tell you. It’s about how she was coasting through her early 30s in a weird job, dreaming of becoming a famous writer, when she was handed a game-changing opportunity by a sorry-but-quite-fit producer. Only snag: potentially having to betray the trust of her favourite person, her beloved grandmother.
This is a story about how Vera set out to ‘build a monument’ to her grandmother’s legacy, but only if it made Vera rich and famous at the same time. It’s a story about how she failed at all those things. And how THAT became the story.
Now that Vera has figured out what the ‘right’ story was all along, she just wants to share it. No agenda. Either that, or she’s trying again to become a famous writer by drawing on the deeply philosophical tale about how she learned so much when she failed at exploiting her grandmother’s life for personal and financial gain.
Either way, you’re invited.

Reviews of Natalia Rossetti’s previous work:
“Witty… unique… The stories and experiences described are things that all women identify with in some way. […] The play is moving, at times upsetting, but also funny and completely relatable – you get the sense while you’re watching it that there is a shared feeling in the room of everyone knowing exactly how each character […] feels.” (Eda Nacar)
“Richly amusing… A cleverly written, humorous and intelligent play that makes an important contribution.” (ActDrop)
“I was moved. I think this is kind of a case where a play is worth ten protest marches and should have a wider showing.” (Letter from audience member)
