Broadway's Angelica Page to Star in EDGE and TURNING PAGE at Circa Theatre This June

This June, multi­award winning Broadway star Angelica Page is coming to Circa Theatre to perform the two critically­acclaimed solo shows EDGE and TURNING PAGE. Directed by Tony Award nominee Wilson Milam, these spellbinding shows are not to be missed.

Award­winning EDGE returns to Circa ten years after its sensational 2005 season. Written by Paul Alexander, EDGE is set in 1963 on the day of Sylvia Plath's death, presenting the self­told story of the troubled poet and author of The Bell Jar, The Colossus, Ariel and the Pulitzer Prize­winning Collected Poems.

EDGE achieved international success in Australia, New Zealand and the United States after its sold­out season in London, garnering Angelica Page the New Times Award for Best Actress 2005 and a nomination for the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Solo Performance 2003.

TURNING PAGE is the triumphant and heartbreaking true story of "the greatest actress in the English language", Geraldine Page, written and performed by the person who knew her best: her own daughter. Hailed by Tennessee Williams himself as "America's finest actress," Geraldine Page's sparkling career earned her a record­breaking eight Academy Award nominations, an Oscar for Best Actress in 1986, and made her one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century. "A master class in the art of acting. Mysterious, mythical and deeply moving." -- Eduardo Machado

With a career spanning two decades working in theatre, film and television, Angelica Page's numerous credits include The National Broadway tour of August: Osage County, NBC's Law and Order, and The Sixth Sense. A lifetime member of the legendary Actors Studio in New York, she is "An actress of the highest possible voltage." - Wall Street Journal

Presented by Cariad LTD and proudly supported by Peter Biggs CNZM and Mary Biggs, with thanks to The Museum Art Hotel.
