TOO SMALL to TELL

TOO SMALL to TELL Lisa Rose is North London actress, writer and drama coach. She was born a natural performer and her career spans film, TV and theatre.

LISA ROSE’S darkly funny & personal solo show about her experience at a global film company in the 90's, still relevant today. *A story about friendship, power & surviving Weinstein’s heliocentric hell. An early role includes John Malkovich's sister in the film Eleni and recent roles include 'Georgina and Summer' plus 'Holly Lodge'. The idea for this show began during the movement. Lisa has drawn from her experience working in the media industry in the 90's. The show's central theme is the abuse of power dynamics in the workplace. Yet it's lightened by moments of comedy and performance theatre. It elevates one woman's voice and her small story to explore the question, 'Can an actress be successful without using her sexuality in a male dominated industry?' It wasn't meant to be a solo show, but her co-creator Paula B.Stanic convinced her that it'd work! The show is directed by Tracy Bargate. Theatre fans will know Tracy enjoys working on productions that celebrate and empower women. Her recent shows include: 'Not Bloody Likely' and 'Yarn'. The show is truthful, touching and more timely than ever during the media debate about misgogny in society and government initiatives to reduce violence against women and girls. It's a show for men, women and everyone in between as it explores power dynamics. Past audience reviews at The Park theatre in 2004 for the work in progress version called it 5 stars and said 'It's terrific, engaging and memorable' and 'A story that must never stop being told'.

A lovely review:

Felt very authentic, Lisa Rose a loveable watchable performer. The story itself is deceptively slight as her title hints. But it’s also huge. Like a Red Riding Hood Story. Lisa Rose lived through these events. she didn’t get eaten by the big bad wolf, but her replacement did, and there is something about that oblique angle that is very compelling.
