“. . .\u00a0absolutely INCREDIBLE\u00a0<\/strong>and one of the most moving performances I have ever been to! There really aren’t the words to describe all the feelings and emotions that were brought up and aroused from (her) fabulous portrayal of those 3 beautiful & complex women. Thank you for. . . this piece which is so integral to human life, and of course a deep passion for all of us who are committed to working with childbearing women. The issues are so real and (the) presentation was so engaging…”\u00a0\u00a0 “I was unprepared f<\/strong>or how captivating this one-woman play was. I was quickly and completely absorbed. . . . Caitlin was brilliant as she moved from one identity to another. . . The play is an intense, eloquent exploration of ethical conflicts, of the influence of early life experiences on adults, of selfishness and selflessness, and of survival itself. The universal theme of birth is the connector that permeates and carries the play.\u00a0 “The critics are fantastic and I absolutely agree with them<\/strong>! Your show was powerful.”\u00a0 “I came to watch your stunning and absolutely riveting performance<\/strong>\u00a0in Sheffield some time ago. I would love to let women have an opportunity to see (the film) in Scotland! “ “I saw\u00a0Singing the Bones<\/strong>\u00a0at the International Women Playwrights Conference in Galway. The reading was very moving and exciting.” “I was deeply moved<\/strong>\u00a0by your play\u00a0Singing the Bones<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0I saw your performance at the Capitola Theater in California a year ago or maybe two. It has stayed with me as a work of art\u00a0 . . . Thank you for the work that you do.” \u00a0–Kristen Cates, San Francisco California<\/em><\/p>\r\n “An exceptional performance. . . unforgettable<\/strong>. We laughed, we cried, we “I had the pleasure of being in the audience<\/strong>\u00a0last week to see\u00a0Singing the Bones<\/strong>\u00a0. . Congratulations on a wonderful play! I look forward to seeing it on Broadway!”\u00a0<\/em> “Fantastic!<\/strong>\u00a0The tears and laughter come easy.” ”\u00a0The first time a live theatre performance has made me cry!<\/strong>\u00a0It remains the most powerful theater production I have ever experienced.”\u00a0<\/em> “Since the show I have had so much feedback<\/strong>\u00a0from those who came — all of it rapturous. . . many of us felt it was the most powerful and important play we had ever had the fortune to attend . . . The issues dealt with in “Singing the Bones” really need to be thought about and discussed in this country.”\u00a0<\/em> “It has been a week since your amazing performance<\/strong>\u00a0in Birmingham, and Jo and I have had loads of positive feedback. Images, characters and ideas from the play keep coming to mind. I think it’s actually changed the quality of my mothering of Oliver — that profound!”\u00a0<\/em> Written by Caitlin Hicks & Gordon Halloran<\/p>\r\n “One woman show a touching success . . .<\/strong>\u00a0what lingers after the curtain goes down is the sight of Annie, her hair worked into the six pigtails of the title, camped outside the bathroom door, chatting away to her mother, a captive audience on the other side . . . And the image of loneliness, silly and sad, is at the heart of the play. . this is a winsome show, and I don’t doubt you’ll laugh.” “In Six Palm Trees,\u00a0<\/strong>the high-spirited Annie mischievously recalls how she would shock her friends by claiming her 14-sibling family was really a Masters and Johnston test group for natural birth control . . . This charming and witty one-hander is artfully written. . . It brims with bittersweet reminiscences. .\u00a0 “When Hicks gets down to the nitty gritty<\/strong>\u00a0— about life at mealtime and the hand-me-down clothing cycle, and especially how Annie had to vie with her 13 siblings for parental affection, and what that did to her psyche as an adult, the show\u00a0zings with painful, touching insights<\/strong>.”\u00a0 “One woman play a treat “Six Palm Trees a splendid slice of work “Hilarious, moving family tale “Delightfully detail-rich.\u00a0<\/strong>You might not expect childhood reminiscence to come off, but Hicks does it delightfully! The show is crammed with choice detail: the seven bedroom house with one bathroom, 128 rolls of toilet paper, 35 cans of chili in the cupboard and a washing machine the size of a 747.” –Lloyd Dykk, Vancouver Sun, British Columbia<\/em><\/p>\r\n written and performed by Caitlin Hicks<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Under the celebrated portrait of a millionaire trader, two women meet in the aftermath of a lavish party. Alone together, wife and mistress of this man, both pregnant with his child, play a verbal game of cat and mouse until a simple twist of fate changes their lives forever.This high society tangle with an unusual twist will call your values into question and give you a hopeful and uplifting window into the heart and soul of the modern woman.<\/em><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n “Harsh, yet lovely script<\/strong>\u00a0by Caitlin Hicks, resonated Friday with the sound of a woman in the audience stifling her tears. . .\u00a0Just A Little Fever<\/strong>\u00a0talks about woman’s gift to give life . . .Hicks probes as surely and painfully as with a plumb line.”\u00a0 –Elizabeth Aird, Vancouver Sun<\/em><\/p>\r\n “A compelling drama.<\/strong>\u00a0. thought provoking essay on freedom of choice and the price we pay for the decisions we make.”\u00a0 “Brilliant, powerful play<\/strong>! Gut wrenching, funny, and above all — honest. One of the most complex, tough-minded disquisitions upon “the new woman” and her conflicts in a man’s world. . . By the play’s final moments, when Karen realises, “There’s no room for us at their table, is there?” I was moved to tears, and so was the woman next to me. You will be haunted for hours, perhaps even days after you see this play. Don’t miss it!” Singing the Bones written & performed by Caitlin Hicks “. . .\u00a0absolutely INCREDIBLE\u00a0and one of the most moving performances I have ever been to!
