Camilla Borges: Be Not Afraid!

Camilla BorgesSemi-professional company

Camilla has a theory that who you played in your school Nativity shaped who you grew up to be. She played Mary, so, surely she should be a CEO by now? Not quite... Mother of God, but she was also just a girl. What if she wanted to listen to Lorde instead of give birth to one? Millennial angst meets a new form in Be Not Afraid! Part school play, part diary entry, it invites audiences to help Camilla grow up and face reality. Featuring high levels of audience interaction, silliness and unmet potential!

Why see this show?

A funny and surprisingly tender show about millennial angst dressed up as a school Nativity — the audience interaction keeps it lively, and the central premise of playing Mary versus living like Lorde is a genuinely original conceit.
