The much-maligned star of over 80 Hollywood films returns to defend herself in the 2017 Philadelphia Fringe Festival! Joan Crawford in Her Own Words is an original show crafted from the star's interviews over the many decades of her legendary career. In a comic blend of sugary light and caustic frankness, Philadelphia actor Eric Singel's portrayal of the willful star invites the cabaret audience into her living room for an evening of cocktails and conversation as she prepares for what will turn out to be her final public appearance at the Rainbow Room. Fortified with a bit of 100-proof vodka, Miss Crawford may even touch on some sore subjects. What brings a wide-eyed Texas girl to the "town without pity"? How many failed marriages and troubled children does it take to win an Oscar — or the title "box office poison"? Fasten your seat belts because you have not seen bumpy until now. Eric Singel is best known to Fringe-goers from ten years of performances with the WaitStaff sketch comedy troupe. Joan Crawford In Her Own Words premiered in Philadelphia in the 1990’s. Revamped and ready for the new century, Singel gives a performance The Mainliner Press Focus pronounced "a tour de force," Philadelphia Gay News proclaimed "fascinating to watch, " and The Welcomat (Philadelphia Weekly) dubbed “comedy/drama at its flooziest."
