Dianna Dynamic: Memoirs of a Cyborg – Melbourne Fringe Festival (VIC) / Created and performed by Bernadette Cranage, directed by Lisa McCune with acting coach Lisa Laine.
Review by Carla Di Maggio / The MC Showroom – The Clubroom / Season 5-21 October 2023
- Bernadette Cranage tackles what it means to be human in a world obsessed with perfection.......Cranage, performing a 45-minute monologue nonstop, makes brilliant use of her intimate space with her charm and ability to capture the eyes of her audience. Her jokes land beautifully throughout the show, peppered in to show the ridiculousness placed on the importance of perfection and efficiency our world is obsessed with. A bonus is the fact that after you’ve done laughing, you are hit with a double-edged sword the more you think about the meaning behind every joke......Cranage shows her audience that she understands struggle, and through her work, she fights for us to choose pure, unadulterated happiness in ourselves, our families, and our friends.
