I Shudder To Think

reading of work by Margaret Cameron
22 December 2014
Venue: 
La Mama Theatre, Melbourne
Country: 
6.30pm

Margaret Cameron, creator of groundbreaking solo performance works including the acclaimed Knowledge and Melancholy, and one of Australia’s most respected theatre practitioners, died on October 20th at her home on the Bellarine. She was aged 59.

Margaret was also an influential teacher, dramaturg and director, best known for taking her perception of the everyday as inspiration for her theatrical solo works. Yet perhaps what best characterises her 35-year artistic output is her philosophically poetic writing which “does what it says and says what it does”.

Almost all her work was first “audienced” at La Mama. This reading includes some of her early work as well as an excerpt from her forthcoming book, I Shudder To Think, which is to be published posthumously by Ladyfinger Press.
