 Amy Lame's Mama Cass Family Singers         Unhappy Birthday

Amy Lame's Mama Cass Family Singers

Synopsis:
Lame describes it as a 'misremembered memoir' and in this monologue, helped by videoed interviews with members of her family, she recites a surreal tale of a childhood event: when she and her chubby siblings were kidnapped in a US department store by the Mamas and The Papas' Cass Elliot. For three years, she says, Elliot made them tour the US singing covers of 1 960s classics, in a troupe called The Mama Cass Family Singers. Worse, the siblings are now car crashes of lost childhood fame - victims of food, cigarette and alcohol addictions and depression. Yes, it's that weird.

Unhappy Birthday

Synopsis:
amy Lame, cult performer and co-creator of London's infamous Duckie collective, invites you to attend her Unhappy Birthday and take your place at the party table! Her invited guest of honour is the iconic Smiths frontman and cult global superstar, Morrissey: a pop icon for the excluded, oppressed, bookish, fat, spectacle wearers, LGBTQ, and outsiders of the world. a place is set for Morrissey. . .he's running late. . .will he arrive clutching a bunch of flowers and a bottle of plonk? Will he bother to turn up at all? The show explores issues around the cult of celebrity, obsessive pop fandom, fat and body fascism, victimhood, and litigation culture. Its personal narrative blurs the lines between fiction and reality using sound, film, social networking, live music, a pop quiz and lots of snacks.
