Plumb Theatre Presents NICOLA CHEESEMAN IS BACK The KateBilling encore season
Back by popular demand! The encore season of this hilarious one woman show asks - is it ever too late to be a nouveau punk-rock goddess? We're gonna say no...
Nicola Cheeseman wants her life back. Specifically, the life she had in her 20s when she was the lead singer of nouveau punk band - The Cherry Slits.
Plumb Theatre presents the katebilling.com encore season of "Nicola Cheeseman is Back".
This bitingly funny and relatable one woman show stars the phenomenal Jodie Rimmer (Sweet Tooth, Friends Like Her) who takes us on a fast-paced romp through the to-do list of a 50-year-old woman navigating the mother of all makeovers. Her husband has moved out, her aged father has moved in and Nicola is left wondering how the hell she got old and when exactly she shelved her dreams in order to keep everyone else happy.
In between raising kids, a failed marriage and holding it down at work, Nicola has lost her mojo and is hell bent on getting it back.
