- Title
Clean Irene in the Parking Lot.
- Authors
Parry, Evalyn; Chatterton, Anna
- Abstract
Creator/performers and longtime collaborators Evalyn Parry and Anna Chatterton recall the night of the northeast blackout during the 2003 SummerWorks festival, when they performed their award-winning show Clean Irene and Dirty Maxine (Independent Auntie Theatre) in the parking lot outside Factory Theatre. They discuss the impact this production, and this particular performance, had on their careers, putting them on the map as emerging artists. They reflect on how their determination to perform during the blackout exemplifies the determination needed to pursue a career in the theatre. They discuss what details they remember about that night and what they don't remember all these many years later, and their memory of walking home after the show through the dark city streets, how that night seemed like it might be the end of the world.
