"engages with her audience, takes them along for the ride, and gets under
the skin of Marlene Dietrich" THE STAGE
|
|
Patricia added Marlene Dietrich to her repertoire in 2004 with her much-travelled show ME AND MARLENE, from which she developed DOPPEL DIETRICH. She opened with this new adaptation in 2012, and continues to tour with it ... |
In this full-length theatre show she alternates between herself and Marlene,
engaging with her audience and entertaining with classic Dietrich songs, comic
anecdotes, a few surprises - and a chilling anti-war message.
With accompaniment from virtuoso pianist John Miles, this is a haunting and
humorous look at the life, loves and songs of an icon - a life that spanned the
twentieth century.
From bi-sexual cross-dresser to Hollywood legend, from war-time entertainer
to international cabaret star, here was a woman way ahead of her time, and who
answered to nobody - not even Adolf Hitler!
