Synopsis

WINNER: BEST OF FEST, 2011 Wakefield Fringe Festival (Quebec)

"With abounding humour and positive stage energy, Alison Wearing recalls, chapter by chapter, what it meant discovering that her father was gay...a loveable, daring, heartfelt performance." View Magazine

Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter is the colourful story of growing up with a gay father. Artfully woven through music and slideshow images, this monologue moves from Alison’s carefree childhood to the moment she learned, at age twelve, that her family was a tad more complex than she had thought. The ensuing eight years were a time of confusion and disbelief, puff pastry and opera, bath house raids, scandal and celebration. Balancing intimacy, history and downright hilarity, Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter is a captivating tale of family life: deliciously imperfect, delightfully challenging, and full of life’s great lessons in love.
