About Created and performed by Giuliana Mancini
Star Vehicle is a solo show created and performed by Giuliana Mancini at Stephenson Theatre. Esther, the central character, knows she is destined to be a pop star and enrols in the Pop Princess Programme of Prestige Produces Protégés. The show asks whether she will become the pop star of her dreams — or a nightmare like you've never seen. It is a farce that runs for 50 minutes and is priced at £9. Audience participation is involved.
Why see this show?
A one-woman farce about a pop star hopeful and the programme designed to manufacture her. Mancini performs the whole thing solo, and the premise — ambition meeting artifice — has strong comic potential.
