KEARA STEWART

[kearabazstewart]

My attempt at drawing Shirley Porter, played by the magnificent @jessica_artymiss in Shirleymander @theplaygroundtheatre..what a superb portrayal of a person who horrendously abused their position of power. This really was one of the most exciting and important pieces of theatre I have ever experienced. The rest of the cast played multiple characters seamslessly: Jack Klaff, George Potts (oh, his dancing in the FAME scene and then the despair he shows at the scandal he is involved in), Amanda Waggott, Omar Baroud and James Horne all spectacular!

I was invited to contribute one of my prefab drawings to the excellent @garagelandmagazine Society issue, by Guest Editor @alexmichon1968. Today I went to see it exhibited in PRINT! Tearing It Up @somersethouse, which runs until 22 Aug. Go see it if you're interested in independent publishing! Also, I highly recommend a subscription to Garageland and/or Arty Magazine, both top publications from @cathylomax @transitiongallery.

My drawings via an old OHP tonight for Neela Dolezalova's fantastic #TheTalkPlay! Third time I've seen the play, this time @VAULTFestival and I could watch it again and again. Such an important piece of theatre, serious discussions and a whole lot of laughs!

Before the show! #TheTalkPlay by my friend Neela Dolezalova @richmixlondon... The play brought up important questions around sex and relationships education with depth, humour and creativity. This show must tour! Have also never seen my drawings on this scale. So exciting and for such an amazing play!
