"The minimalism on the staging works in its favour, as the superb play and EXCELLENT performing do not need no more" (Andrés Molinaria, Ideal)
“Inma fills the whole stage with REAL and TRUE acting.
A ‘60s storytelling but CONTEMPORARY like never before” (Fernando Cayo, Actor)

An ideal example of how useful performing arts are for social and cultural progress"
(Steffano Barozzi, UGR)
"A happy gender GRINDER”
(Pepe Henríquez, Diagonal)
The Playwright
London Fringe 1991 award with “Why is John Lennon wearing a skirt?”, playwright and performer Claire Dowie has a reputation for work that defies categorisation.
Originally trained as a dancer, she started writing poetry (published by Faber and Apples and Snakes) and quickly gained a reputation as an outspoken and hilarious stand up comic and on the cabaret circuit in the early eighties. She felt limited by the need for punchlines and started writing plays, inventing her own genre: stand up theatre.
Dowie’s plays "Death and Dancing", "From H to He", "Adult Child, Death Child" have been mainly produced in UK (http://www.clairedowie.co.uk/). Her masterpiece is staged in Spain for the first time thanks to La Palabra Teatro.
