Award-winning, theatrical comedy explores cultural dimensions through the eyes of an immigrant woman coping with marriage, divorce, and the Dancehall Queen vs. Proper Church Lady archetypes
LOS ANGELES – October 8, 2020 – Simone Moore, the Jamaican-born actress, and writer made her debut as a producer and writer with The Divorce Comedy – an exploration into the absurdity, isolation, and loss of identity of a Jamaican immigrant’s experience in marriage and divorce. The one-woman show premiered at REDCAT’s annual New Original Works (NOW) Festival and is now available on YouTube.
Simone Moore wrote and performed The Divorce Comedy during the onset of the pandemic and was mainly inspired to create a reflection of her personal struggles. The production was selected among nine performances to air during REDCAT’s fall 2020 season. The short film features video photography by Barron Claiborne, Afro-Caribbean dance, singing, and reggae DJing. For the first time since its debut, viewers can watch The Divorce Comedy for free on YouTube.
“As an artist, it’s very liberating to have complete creative freedom, and I hope that sharing my experiences as a Jamaican woman in the diaspora will inspire and challenge others on the road to self-discovery,” says Simone Moore. “I also think it’s necessary for us to tell our own stories and create our own platform.”
