Some Kinda Woman, Stories of Us
features dramatic & comedic work of international playwright/ performer Caitlin Hicks
Sharp, humorous and emotional
A new series of episodes and stories called Some Kinda Woman: Stories of Us, has debuted on iTunes, LibSyn, Stitcher and other podcast hosts, for international audiences. The podcast features Sunshine Coast playwright/performer Caitlin Hicks, and the many quirky characters from her standing ovation tours of one-person theatrical performances in England, Ireland, the United States, Canada and Sweden.
The series features a variety of characters from Hicks’ original theatrical work: Mother Love, Next of Kin, Stories for a Winter Solstice, The Life We Lived, Singing the Bones, Six Palm Trees and Just a Little Fever. Each story is a character-based short tale of a moment in a life and celebrates unique challenges and triumphs that women experience, from their own point of view.
The podcast is new, but the work has toured internationally in towns and cities to robust audiences, excellent reviews and standing ovations. The work is sharp, humorous and emotional, the characters outspoken, the issues and events in women’s lives from lighthearted Christmas nostalgia to the exhilaration of a powerful birth, to difficult memories of losing a child to divorce, to unexpected death, to abortion. Some stories of old timers tell of physical, emotional and financial hardship as settlers of a harsh land (The Life We Lived). Other stories are spoken through hilarious characters who speak their mind (drama/comedy: Six Palm Trees, novel: A Theory of Expanded Love).
Some Kinda Woman: Stories of Us is divided up into different banners. The first is ‘Christmas in Cornucopia’ (or, The Trouble of Christmas). Here is an introduction to the series, as well as a true Christmas story.
Thursdays, listeners to iTunes can download a new voice, a different story, another woman at a pivotal point in her life, as she shares a moment that changes her. Illustrations by Gord Halloran.
