Annabel is 27 and her life is a continuous status update. She has used every social medium available to carefully cultivate her profile in order to attract the attention of her dishy colleague, Sebastian. Through the Looking Screen by Anne Chmelewsky is an affectionate but unflinching operatic portrayal of an increasingly desperate young woman losing touch with the world beyond her PC and smartphone. Annabel’s life is a tragicomic tale of our times.THROUGH THE LOOKING SCREEN is a one-woman, one-act operetta by the composer Anne Chmelewsky. This is a North American premiere.
Directed by Eileen Kuo
Starring Jacquelene Cooper
Written and composed by Anne Chmelewsky
“A wonderful musical tale of attraction, love and despair in the internet age… Anne Chmelewsky’s story is funny, poignant and will strike a chord with anyone who has ever dated (and everyone who has ever slyly checked out a crush’s Facebook page). If you can’t imagine being on the edge of your seat, waiting for a fictional reply to a Facebook message… think again.” - Three Weeks Edinburgh
“[Chmelewsky] possesses both a finely tuned classical ear and an eye for the offbeat comedy of daily life.… [She] has rendered a script that is thought provoking and funny. There is an interplay of light and shadow which only gradually dawns.” - FringeReview
