May Be My Last

Work:: May Be My Last (S51902894)

In an era of oppression, rebellion, evolution and enlightenment, this is the story of a small-town girl's remarkable journey: from an adolescent outcast to a musical icon. The true essence of the legendary 1960's rock star Janis Joplin's is captured and channelled by the critically-acclaimed, renowned singer-songwriter and actor Collette Cooper, in this one-woman play with a breath-taking live band and a whole host of surprises thrown in for good measure. Set against the backdrop of a Woodstock-vibe music festival in the height of the Summer of Love, and backstage in her dressing room, Tomorrow May Be My Last marks a key moment in Janis Joplin's all too brief existence: Collette Cooper's embodiment of the psychedelic rock idol is deep and complex, painted with dark humour and glimmers of hope that candidly reveal Joplin's troubled genius.
