shamaniac, a new solo play written by deirdre lovejoy

a Spiritual Traumedy

A series of mysterious debilitating seizures and a freak elevator accident send actor Deirdre Lovejoy on an off-road scavenger hunt for healing. From sound baths to bean diets, this deeply personal solo play traces one woman’s unconventional recovery, as she flips the bird to western medicine and swan dives into otherworldly remedies to reintegrate body, mind and soul. A mystical post-traumatic-stress-fantasia featuring bad choices, safety tips, spirit guides and shamanism– with cameos by polyamory and The Patriarchy. Written and performed by Deirdre Lovejoy (The Wire, The Blacklist, Daredevil: Born Again).
