PHASESHIFT LIGHT ‘DAWN FRENCH IS A HUGE TWAT’

English comedian and actor Dawn French has just wound up a highly successful tour of Australia with her Dawn French Is A Huge Twat show.

During the show, Dawn reveals many of the excruciating gaffes and howlers she’s made across her forty-year career as a comedian and actress. The stage and lighting may, at first glance, appear simple but it is a work of precision. Central to the stage design is the large projection screen, showing a combination of of some her TV clips and old footage from her many years in her career.

“Giant antique stage lights beam down with their warm, steady light as Ellis moans into the f-hole on his violin to simulate that usual moan and wail of his strings in the studio version. Little bulbs flash and flicker about the stage like fireflies before the Enmore stage lights explode into white pulsating wonder. In the despairing depths of the song, some inkling of hope emerges that Ellis describes as “you climb[ing] out of the hole and see three little angels - cherubs - named Warren, Mick and Jim.””
