Emerson Theater Collaborative is proud to bring Breaking Glass: a solo play inspired by the life of Julia Margaret Cameron to Mystic, Connecticut.
Breaking Glass a staged reading of a new one-woman play, written and performed by Emma Palzere-Rae, inspired by the life of Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron.
Set in 1874, prior to Cameron’s return to India, the audience is invited into Julia’s Glass House studio to sit for one of her photographs.
Julia Margaret Cameron took up photography at the relatively late age of 48. She produced 900 photographs in a 12-year period, capturing ‘famous men and fair women’ in portraits and tableaus. By experimenting with the art form, she was among the first art photographers and credited with creating the first ‘close-ups.’ Yet, as a woman, she faced fierce criticism.
Breaking Glass is produced by Camilla Ross and Emerson Theater Collaborative; directed by Kato McNickle, with production stage management by Carin Jennie Estey. Cultural consultant is Sarbani Hazra. Palzere-Rae appears with permission of Actors’ Equity Association.
