DEVIL WOMAN Comes to The Melbourne Fringe
by BWW News Desk - September 10, 2019
From the age of 8 up until she was 16, Clare Dea busked every weekend at her local shopping centre in order to put herself through dance school. However, her chosen path as performer was going to be a challenging one as Clare was born with a rare congenital disease called Poland's syndrome. Commonly referred to as the shame disease, Clare was born without her left pectoral muscle and never developed her left breast. By the time she was 14 she had a fully developed right breast and was heading into the throes of puberty armed with a malformed chest and a plummeting confidence level. At 15 her parents, who were now about her mental health, decided to invest in major surgery which involved a muscle transplant and the insertion of a breast expander. This was followed by another surgery at the age of 21, to finally complete her transition to a woman with two breasts. Clare has put her remarkable story into a one woman cabaret show called, Devil Woman for the upcoming Melbourne Fringe Festival which is due to open at the Butterfly Club on the 23rd September 2019.

Amy's life as a receptionist is a rut of emails, ergonomics and endless unrealistic expectations. She smiles politely, makes the perfect cup of coffee and has a delightful phone manner.

Now on a journey to find another gluten-dairy-nut free cake for the big merger deal, Amy stops to wonder: is this her moment to escape to freedom or the beginning of her descent into corporate oblivion?
