Delphine at SoHo Playhouse

'Hello my name's Delphine, my mum say's it's french chic but I like it 'cause my favourite animals a Dolphin' When we meet Delphine she is aged thirty and still living at home with her mum. Her room has become her sanctuary, her haven, a cocoon that protects her, but also prevents her from emotionally engaging with the world. She is imprisoned by fear and self doubt that seeps into every aspect of her life. When pain arrives it is something “she knows so well,” Now something has happened. Join Delphine in her home, enter her world and help yourself to a mint. An uplifting piece of storytelling about facing fears, taking a step away from the safe and familiar and bravely moving towards something new

Reviews

"Perhaps inspired by Alan Bennett’s monologues, Pointing’s writing is funny and true ... a celebration of quiet female defiance." **** The Scotsman

“Actor and writer Clare Rebekah Pointing skilfully brings those fantasies to life, embodying a fragile, funny and relatable character…the writing is consistent and impressively evocative” **** The List

“Delphine herself is reminiscent of Mike leigh’s most detailed and convincing characters, appearing as a real person with a complete inner life. Clare Pointing’s performance is as clever as it is expressive” **** to do list
