Jemima Smallbones

A one woman Comedy Theatre show about a middle aged housewife who has come into ''new'' money through her husband's fluttering and reminisces to the audience about the frustrations of NOT ever being a lesbian... 'Think Shirley Valentine meets Birds of a Feather.'

Sara Louise Aston plays Jemima and the show was created following a meeting Sara had with some American Casting Directors who watched her perform a snippet of the show which at the time was just a 1 minute monologue titled "When I was 17".

When Sara told the Casting Directors, she had written the piece they advised her to turn the monologue into a one woman show because Sara's writing and performance style impressed them. Sara plays Jemima with a slightly innocent but deadpan tone and engages with the audience playfully and sweetly but with touch of mischievous behaviour.
