Delphine
by Clare Rebekah Pointingtheatre
A funny, moving and uplifting piece of storytelling about facing fears and taking a brave step forward.
about the production
Delphine is a witty and honest piece of new writing whose protagonist Delphine takes centre stage in her very own bedroom. Delphine is a larger than life character; she is funny, frightened, misunderstood and smarter than she thinks she is. We recognise her struggle as she faces crippling self-doubt and fears that seem insurmountable. An uplifting piece of storytelling about facing fears, taking a step away from the safe and familiar and bravely moving towards something new. A one woman show that showcases the art of subtle storytelling post a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016.

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