Fugitive Songs is a new devised piece of performance theatre. It’s about fantasies; the ones that lead you astray and land you in a whole heap of trouble. It’s about late night bars, motel rooms, men with guns and women who chew gum – and it’s about the songs that take you there...…it begins with desire, the kind of desire that churns your stomach when you hear a song that ‘calls’ to you. The kind of desire that won’t let you go. That feeling when your body indefinably but voraciously yearns in…See More
Profile Information
- Occupation
- Experimental Devised Work
- Bio
- Famous & Divine create devised work which explores the hidden, secret, and silenced areas of women’s lives in contemporary society. Our work seeks out that which is unspoken, inexpressible, transgressive in the experience of being a woman. Our first piece, 'Last Night I Dreamt My House was Leaking…', entered the realm of women’s masochistic sexual fantasies. In our new piece, 'Fugitive Songs', two women succomb to their obsession with a particular piece of music and find themselves drawn into a landscape of desire and fantasy, fugitives from their everyday lives.

So glad to have found this site - it's a great resource!
Famous & Divine is three years old now and comprises two performer/devisers: Mary Steadman and Amanda Price. Despite our 'newness' as a Company we have both been around for a number of years as performers/directors/lecturers/academics. We're passionate about this company because it represents a moment of risk for both of us; having been very sensible for years, and brought up families, held down jobs, paid our bills…
