Annie Wobbler

By Arnold Wesker

Directed by Rebecca Garron and Jason Couch

Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall...

Tramp, cleaning woman, seductress, Cambridge graduate, famous author, imposter: in his one-woman play Annie Wobbler, British playwright Arnold Wesker asks whether we ever really discover the mystery of our own lives: Who are we? What are we? And what if we were otherwise?
