When I Kissed the Teacher
Fenella Parkinson • Student/Youth company
About Fenella Parkinson
Fenella Parkinson performs this solo storytelling show in which Laura recounts her experience of developing feelings for a teacher — a great teacher, by her account, likeable, inspiring and supportive, who even helped her with her university applications. The story unfolds with the certainty of something romantic and fairytale-like, at least according to Laura. Running for 40 minutes at the Pickle Studio, the show asks what could possibly go wrong.
Why see this show?
A short, sharply told story about the gap between how we narrate our own experiences and how those experiences actually look from the outside. Fenella Parkinson draws you in with Laura's certainty, then lets the story do the rest.
