About Maya Shoham
Maya Shoham presents In Other Words, a solo theatre show at Just The Attic in which Maya — struggling to articulate a feeling she cannot quite name — invites an audience to help her invent new words. The play twists and turns as Maya the playwright gets in the way of Maya the performer, turning the attempt to describe one's inner life into an increasingly chaotic theatrical journey. Running for 60 minutes, the show features audience participation and is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A playful, structurally clever solo show that makes word invention into a genuine theatrical event — warm, strange and refreshingly honest about the limits of language.
