Resusci-Anne at The Jam Jar
See event details

A event held at The Jam Jar on Wednesday 3rd December. The event starts at 19:45.


Resusci Anne (and the Personal Displays of Affection) drags up the lore surrounding Resusci Anne; an unidentified drowned girl, considered to be the 'world's most beautiful dead girl' and whose face was used to create the first CPR training dummies. The project is a work in progress, supported by Arts Council England.

The show finds Holly and Raina as they search for their friend Anne in the club of dead women, unsure how they arrived there and desperate for a resolution. Haunted by famous dead women; Joan of Arc, Ophelia and Elizabeth Taylor, the two grapple with pop culture and their pasts in an attempt to resuscitate the truth behind their best friend's death. With banjo-based comaraderie from the wonderful Gael Showler, Resusci Anne (and the Personal Displays of Affection) swims the line of gig-theatre, folk-tale, sea-shanty and long form spoken word. Beware the vague and wet graffiti! Beware the loss that threatens to fall on your head!
